Instructions

Notes

  • Use chicken breasts or thighs depending on your preference; thighs will be more tender and flavorful.
  • Adjust salt and seasoning to taste before cooking if preferred.
  • You can substitute baby red potatoes with Yukon gold potatoes for a slightly different texture.
  • For a thicker sauce, remove the lid during the last 30 minutes of cooking to allow some liquid to evaporate.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently to preserve moisture.
