FAQ:
Q: Can I bake this instead of pan-frying?
A: Yes! Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy.

Q: Can I use boneless, skinless thighs instead of breasts?
A: Absolutely! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs work great in this recipe. They might take a bit longer to cook, so ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
