What ingredients you need to make chicken on a grill pan:

How to cook chicken on the grill pan:
- Heat a grill pan on medium heat
- Pat dry the thinly sliced chicken breasts

FAQS on making grill pan chicken:
- What is your go-to grill pan to make these one? I LOVE using this one!!
- What kind of chicken do you like to make on the grill pan? The extra thin chicken breasts are phenomenal. I love my crispy chicken thighs too but this method is made for thinly pounded chicken breasts!
- How long do these stay good for? Best way to reheat chicken? I actually eat these cold most often, but I love cold food (I also have 2 young kids so what is hot food lol). But if you want to reheat, you can warm on a greased skillet over the stovetop or microwave.
