Pro Tips

1Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking — weeknight speed depends on having everything ready to go.
2A hot pan is essential for good searing. If the chicken doesn't sizzle when it hits the pan, your pan isn't hot enough yet.
3Chicken thighs are more forgiving than breast for weeknight cooking — they stay juicy even if you get distracted for a few minutes.

Variations

Swap chicken for shrimp for a lighter, faster version of most weeknight recipes.
Meal prep the seasoned chicken the night before — the marinade develops and you save 10 minutes at dinnertime.
Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a lower-carb option.
