My family doesn’t like thighs. Can you use breasts?
We haven’t tried this recipe with chicken breasts, but it could work. The timing will be different since you are using a different cut of meat. So, you will need to watch it closely the first time you make it so you can adjust the cooking time as needed. If you give it a try, let us know how it goes!
