Notes

For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the pot. You can also add a splash of white wine when deglazing the pot for an extra depth of flavor. Adjust the seasoning to taste and feel free to add other herbs like rosemary or parsley for additional aroma.
