Notes

If you are using chicken thighs, you may need to add a little extra time to ensure that the chicken is done.
Try to cut your chicken into similar-sized pieces so that the chicken cooks evenly.
Use an instant-read meat thermometer to make sure that your chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Add some crunch to this recipe by adding peanuts or cashews.
