Preparation

Cooking
  1. Place the chicken on the griddle and let it sear without moving it to achieve a good crust.

  3. Check for doneness using a meat thermometer or by cutting into the thickest part.
  4. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until juices run clear.
  5. Optionally, add a splash of lemon juice right before finishing.
Resting
  1. Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before slicing.
