    Betty's Top Tips

    • Allow the chicken breasts to come up to room temperature before cooking it. This will result in it being more tender when cooked.
    • For best results use a meat thermometer so that you don't over or undercook the chicken. It should register at 165F.
    • Let your chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing it. This allows the juice to redistribute so it's super tasty and succulent.
