Can you do this recipe with Chicken Breast? How much long to bake and do you add more liquid Ingredients to compensate for more baking time?
Donna John
I've never made it with chicken breast, but you could definitely do that. They would cook faster, so I would start checking them at about 20 minutes or so. Let us know how they turn out! Snap a photo!

My Granddaughters LOVE chicken and I think they would really enjoy this. My problem is I only make them BONELESS thighs. It's easier for them. How would this recipe change to accommodate?
Donna John
I love boneless chicken thighs, too. Just reduce the cooking time. Anything on a bone takes longer to cook.
