      NOTE :


      • If the chicken breast is thick, I recommend their butter, so they cook faster and evenly.
      • You can cut the chicken in half, chop, or use chicken tenderloins instead of full chicken breasts to make servings easier. Cooking time can be reduced.
      • The rest of the food can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 3-5 days, or in the freezer for up to a month. Chicken is heated well or can be shredded and mixed into a sauce for use in other dishes such as pizza, manicotti, or in a panini.
