Notes

Air Fryer Method: Place in air fryer basket and cook at 375° for 10 minutes. Flip chicken, and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through. Stovetop Method: heat a large skillet over medium, with a coating of olive oil in the pan. Cook chicken on both sides, flipping once, until golden and cooked through. Add more oil, and cook in batches, as needed. Sheet pan meal Idea: Make it a meal, by roasting veggies while the chicken rests.
