The chicken is ready when its thickest section reaches an internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C.
Do not rely only on the color of the chicken. A food thermometer is the most reliable way to confirm that it is safely cooked without overcooking it.
- Add the finishing touches
Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the optional lemon juice for a subtle touch of freshness.
Sprinkle chopped parsley over the chicken and spoon additional sauce on top before serving.
Allow the dish to rest for a few minutes. The sauce will continue to thicken slightly as it cools.
