Steps

Notes from Nourishible editors

Written by our recipe team from the video and the method above.

Technique · Step 6: Pour the broth into the still-hot pan and scrape up the browned bits from the chicken; they carry much of the sauce's flavour.
Scaling: To double, use two skillets or cook in batches; crowded breasts steam instead of browning. → Chicken Breast
Quantity · Step 9: No amount is given for the feta in the optional salad; about 50 to 60g crumbled for four is a reasonable estimate to start from.
