Notes
For extra flavor, marinate chicken in garlic and herbs before searing
Avoid overcooking chicken during searing for tenderness
Broil 2-3 minutes for crispy topping
Substitute heavy cream with Greek yogurt or light cream for a healthier option
Add bell peppers or carrots for a one-pan variation
