Pro Tips

💡Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking — weeknight speed depends on having everything ready to go.
💡A hot pan is essential for good searing. If the chicken doesn't sizzle when it hits the pan, your pan isn't hot enough yet.
💡Chicken thighs are more forgiving than breast for weeknight cooking — they stay juicy even if you get distracted for a few minutes.

Variations

🔄Swap chicken for shrimp for a lighter, faster version of most weeknight recipes.
🔄Meal prep the seasoned chicken the night before — the marinade develops and you save 10 minutes at dinnertime.
🔄Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a lower-carb option.
