Tips and Tricks:
1. This is a great recipe for leftover or rotisserie chicken, but if you don’t have leftover chicken you can lightly season two butterflied chicken breasts with salt and pepper and allow it to cook in a second pan while you brown the onions and prep/measure the rest of the ingredients. 2. I used a 10” pie dish. 3. This recipe is also great the next day and can be eaten cold for a refreshing lunch!Nutrition
