Key move

Sear the chicken in medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes per side, achieving a golden-brown crust before removing, as this builds the flavor foundation.

The Mise en Place

5 of 13

Your prep station before cooking begins

The Dry Mix (0/9)

4 wholechicken cutlets (600–700g)
1 tspkosher salt
5 gblack pepper
4 ggarlic cloves(paste)
1 cupsun-dried tomatoes(sliced)

My chicken is pale and didn't get that beautiful golden crust.

Ah, that golden crust is where so much flavor starts! It means the pan wasn't quite hot enough when the chicken went in, or maybe it was a little crowded. Make sure your skillet is…

My sauce seems a bit too thin, not coating everything like I want.

No worries, a thin sauce can always be coaxed into thickness.

Chef's Notes

Tip

Sear chicken thighs until deeply golden brown for maximum flavor before adding other ingredients.

Tip

Don't overcrowd the pan when searing chicken. Cook in batches if necessary to ensure a good crust.

Serving

Serve over creamy polenta, pasta, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

Variation

Add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic for a subtle spicy kick.
