Chef’s Pro Tips

Pound chicken thighs to even thickness for uniform cooking.
Add a splash of lemon zest to the cucumber salad for extra brightness.
Use a hot skillet to sear the chicken quickly for a crisp crust.

Serving Suggestions

Serve with crusty bread or quinoa to complete the plate and a light white wine if desired.

Storage Instructions
