Notes

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

You can easily use boneless skinless chicken thighs in this recipe instead of chicken breasts if you prefer.

I used an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that the chicken is cooked to a safe temperature before eating.
