Fry chicken until cooked through and lightly brown-golden on the outside (about 5 minutes each side, depending on the thickness of your chicken).

Add the chicken stock to deglaze the pan scraping up the bottom to remove any browned bits.

Step 11

Return the chicken back into the pan and let simmer from 2 to 3 minutes more to thicken the sauce a little bit.

Step 12
