Can You Use Chicken Breasts?

It depends on your choice that which cut out of the chicken you want to use this recipe is easy to make with both the chicken breasts and the chicken thighs but if you use chicken breasts they are still a good choice and the chicken will also be tender. If you want to go with the chicken breasts for nutritional benefits then the cooking time of the recipe will be the same.
