Heavenly Chicken….made easy with any one of our Sous Salts.

Whichever Sous Salt you enjoy this recipe can be flavored with any of them. From the Grey Sea Salt & Herbs to the Olive, Thyme, Lemon or the Porcini Mushroom.  Use the Smoked Paprika or the Sun Dried Tomato. Whichever salt you choose to use you can add a complimentary vegetable to the pan after your flip the chicken. A cup of wine works as well for a wonderful reduction sauce. Thyme, slices of lemon, garlic, almost anything you would like to experiment with will work for this easy chicken dinner. I usually pair it with some roasted brussel sprouts and Sous Salt Rice & Grains.
