Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips
- Make-Ahead Advice: You can prep the chicken and chop your veggies ahead of time. Store them in the fridge to save time when you’re ready to cook!
- Ingredient Swaps: If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, feel free to use that! Just add it in during the last few minutes of cooking.
- Storage Suggestions: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply add a splash of chicken broth and warm on the stovetop over low heat.
- Slicing Tricks: For evenly diced chicken, freeze the chicken breast for about 30 minutes beforehand. It makes slicing much easier!
