How to avoid burning skillet chicken
Cooking chicken in a skillet can be a simple way to get a delicious dinner on your table. To avoid burning chicken in a skillet, begin by heating up the pan on medium-high and adding a good amount of oil or butter (use a non-stick spray so it spreads evenly).
Then add the chicken and spread it out so that it makes an even layer in the pan. Cook on one side for about five minutes before flipping it over to cook on the other side.
Add some diced potatoes and peppers and be sure to stir them around every once in awhile while they’re cooking so that nothing gets too browned. With these tips, your chicken should come out perfectly cooked every time!
