  • Once hot, add in the chicken breast. Cook about 5-6 minutes.

Notes

Freeze- you can freeze this 2 ways.  The first option instead of marinating in the refrigerator, place in the freezer up to 2 months.  To thaw, place in the refrigerator the night before you are using. Once thawed, cook according to the instructions above. 
The second method- after you cook bring to room temperature.  Place in a freezer safe Ziploc, container or vacuum seal.  Freeze in the freezer up to a month.  When you are ready to use, place in the refrigerator the night before to thaw.  Heat up in a skillet or the oven at 350f for about 15-20 minutes on a parchment lined baking sheet and serve with your favorite sides.
