Can bone in or boneless chicken breast be used in the place of thighs? I always look forward to receiving your email and what delicious recipe in enclosed.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried the recipe with Chicken Breast, but if I did, I would use bone in, skin on, to ensure that the breast stays moist. It would be very good, I may try it that way the next time I make the recipe. Thanks so much for stopping by today, I really appreciate your support for the blog!
DeleteHave a very special week!
