Frequently Asked Questions
I prefer thighs over breasts because they're less expensive, the added fat makes them more flavorful and tender and less likely to dry out.
You can simply omit the mushrooms or replace with sliced bell peppers, onions, zucchini or eggplant.
You can simply omit the asparagus or replace with broccoli florets or fresh green beans.
Absolutely! However, that bone-in chicken thighs or breasts will require more cooking time adjust accordingly.
Boneless, skinless chicken breasts should also reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Dark meat cuts like thighs, legs, and wings are more forgiving and can be cooked to a slightly higher internal temperature, around 170-175°F for better texture and flavor.
