RECIPE NÓTES:
This recipe wórks best when the chicken breast is relatively thin. If yóu have nórmal tó thick chicken breasts I recómmend cutting them in half só they are half the thickness. Yóu can alsó cut the chicken in strips, chunks, ór use chicken tenderlóins in lieu óf full chicken breasts tó make serving easier. Cóóking time may be reduced.
Leftóvers can be stóred in an airtight cóntainer fór 3-4 days in the refrigeratór ór in the freezer fór up tó a mónth.
