## Tips

- The key to getting that deep color and crispy edges is cooking the chicken in small batches in a very hot skillet.
- If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of sear.
- Keep the heat low and slow when melting the cheese, stirring constantly to make sure nothing sticks or burns.
