🔥 Chef Tips

Pan-frying in butter gives the chicken a golden rich flavour — especially with Ultimate Chicken Seasoning

Add crunch: try toasted almonds, pumpkin seeds, or chickpeas (optional depending on carb goals).

Batch prep the chicken: keeps 3 days in the fridge and works for bowls, wraps, and salads.
