- Short on time? Choose chicken tenders for your recipe as these will cook in the least amount of time. They also thaw fast in a pinch. Just be sure to avoid overcooking them. Chicken is fully cooked at 165°F.
- Most of these meals can be prepared in one pan for ease of preparation. Choose a non-stick pan or iron skillet.
- Whenever you need boiled chicken, use chicken broth instead of water. This will add a delicious flavor to your chicken.
