Pro Tips

FAQ
Can I use thighs instead of breasts?
Yes! Boneless, skinless thighs work great — just adjust cooking time slightly if they are smaller.
Can I make it without chips?
Sure! You can leave them off, or top with buttered panko breadcrumbs for crunch.
Is this recipe freezer-friendly?
It’s best fresh. If you freeze, leave off the chips and add them fresh before baking.
Can I double the recipe?
Yes! Just use a larger pan or two pans.
