I don't have leftover cooked chicken! What's the best way to cook chicken for this recipe?

The easiest way is to pick up a cooked rotisserie chicken at your grocery store! But second easiest is to poach a couple of boneless breasts or thighs, and here's my favorite method for doing that from the folks at The Kitchn.

What is poultry seasoning and where can I find it?

Poultry seasoning is a mixture of dried spices that go especially well with chicken, like thyme, marjoram, rosemary, oregano and a bunch more. Just taking a little sniff of it is enough to remind you of Thanksgiving! You can find it in the spice aisle at your grocery store, or you can make your own with this terrific recipe.

Is there something I can use in place of the scallions?

If you are short on scallions, a chopped leek or a peeled and chopped sweet onion will work just fine.

Have a question that I didn't cover?
