Thin sliced Perdue chicken can be cooked quickly in various ways. One method is to lightly season both sides with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices, and cook in a hot skillet with a small amount of oil for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned and cooked through. Another option is to coat the chicken with breadcrumbs or a flour mixture and bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 375°F. It can also be grilled or cooked on a stovetop griddle for a few minutes on each side until done. The key is to not overcook the chicken and to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for food safety.

Additionally, placing the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet will allow air to circulate around the chicken, which will help to crisp the skin.
