I do a mean paneed chicken and tonight I tried making a wild mushroom and white wine sauce to go over it. I nailed it, and then re-learned the lesson I teach myself every time I do this. I always sear off my chicken breasts and then finish them in the oven. Well, can I ever remember that the pan is beyond hot when I take it out? I was just deglazing the pan and I heard this ridiculous sizzling and couldn't figure out what I was burning in the pan--oh, right, my hand on the handle!
I will not touch pans when they come out of the oven
