Notes

Tips and Variations:
Use boneless, skinless chicken breast for a leaner option or chicken thighs for a more tender and juicy result.
Add some cherry tomatoes or green beans to the skillet for added flavour and nutrition.
Substitute the thyme with rosemary or oregano for a different herbal flavour.
Serve with a side of quinoa or brown rice for a filling and satisfying meal.
