  • Add the chicken, making sure it's touching the pan.
  • Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on both sides, depending on the thickness.
  • During the last minute or so of cooking, add the basil and garlic. Give it a toss.

Notes

I had it with a side of cauliflower (pre-cooked) that I heated up with a lot of butter. You can make whichever side you like, green beans, cheesy broccoli, mashed sweet potatoes, white rice with butter, whatever floats your boat.
