About

10 minutes, in cooking time, is nothing; it’s a New York minute, a blink of an eye, a flash in the sky. Yet 10-Minute Chicken is completed and sizzling hot in, yes, 10 minutes. It seems impossible, but you can literally taste the delicious results. 10-Minute Chicken is juicy, crispy, and seasoned to perfection, exactly what you want on a weeknight when you just want to put your feet up and rest. A burst of flavor made faster than the speed of light (or so it feels), this dish makes weeknight dinners seem easy.
