RECIPE N�TES:
This recipe w�rks best when the chicken breast is relatively thin. If y�u have n�rmal t� thick chicken breasts I rec�mmend cutting them in half s� they are half the thickness. Y�u can als� cut the chicken in strips, chunks, �r use chicken tenderl�ins in lieu �f full chicken breasts t� make serving easier. C��king time may be reduced.
Left�vers can be st�red in an airtight c�ntainer f�r 3-4 days in the refrigerat�r �r in the freezer f�r up t� a m�nth.
