Notes
*If you’re not using a non-stick pan, you may need to add 1-2 teaspoons to skillet before cooking. If using pre-cooked chicken, heat in skillet until warm before adding to sauce. Size of chicken breasts vary, which can alter cook time. Cook until internal temperature is 165 degrees and insides are no longer pink.
*I prefer Frank’s hot sauce, but your favorite works too. 2 ounces of hot sauce makes this recipe mildly spicy.
