2. Sear the Chicken:

Just made this chicken for dinner. It came out fantastic! I lightly dusted the chicken with flour first( for extra crispiness) Then sprayed a little oil on it. I cooked in air fryer because it was thick. I wanted it to cook all the way through.Then proceeded to follow the recipe. I paired it with saute’ garlic spinach and sweet potato mash. So good, thanks for this recipe!
