Notes
- Chicken: We like chicken breasts for this recipe, but you can swap in boneless chicken thighs if you prefer. Or use a combo!
- Poultry Seasoning: Look for this spice mixture in (yep!) the spice aisle of your supermarket.
- Chicken Broth: As always, we recommend the kind in the box for the freshest flavor, but whatever kind you have on hand will work.
