Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick and Easy Chicken Skillet.
Step 1
Begin by assembling all the necessary ingredients for this delightful dish.
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat.
Step 3
Toss in the chopped onion and sauté until it turns a lovely translucent shade, which should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 4
Next, introduce the chicken breasts to the skillet, allowing them to sear for 1 to 2 minutes on each side until they achieve a light golden brown hue.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine ketchup, white sugar, soy sauce, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to create a flavorful sauce.
Step 6
Pour this tantalizing mixture over the chicken in the skillet.
Step 7
Bring the sauce to a vigorous boil, then lower the heat and cover the skillet, letting it simmer gently for 25 to 35 minutes.
Step 8
This will ensure the chicken is thoroughly cooked and no longer pink in the center, reaching an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 9
Enjoy the rich aromas as your meal comes together, promising a delicious experience with every bite.
