FAQ
Do I have to use an oven-safe skillet?
If you don’t have one, simply transfer the seared chicken and sauce into a baking dish before baking.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, you can stuff the chicken breasts up to a day ahead. Keep them covered in the fridge until ready to cook.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, but adjust the cooking time—thighs may take slightly longer to bake through.
