Instructions

  • Divide the chicken breasts in half, like butterflying it.
  • In an airtight container or place all the ingredients for the marinade of your choice and give it a mix. Add the chicken and mix.
  • Let the chicken marinade for at least 30 minutes or up to 2 days in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can freeze the chicken for up to 1 month. If you’re going to freeze it, it’s best to do it in an airtight bag in a single layer to make it easier to thaw.
  • Once it’s time to cook the chicken, preheat a pan over medium-high heat. Add a bit of oil and just enough chicken to fill the base of the pan comfortably. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side.
