  • 1 cup of chicken broth

Method

  • Step 3: Flip them over and brown for another 4 minutes.
  • Step 4: Add in your chicken broth and reduce it to a medium-low. Place the lid on the skillet and allow to simmer for 5-8 minutes. Note: Chicken should register between 160-165 degrees (it will continue to cook when removed from heat).
