Notes
- Use toothpicks to secure the chicken if needed—just remember to remove them before serving.
- Add a layer of sliced prosciutto or spinach inside the chicken for extra flavor.
- If you don’t have an oven-safe skillet, transfer to a baking dish after searing.
- Leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or air fryer.
