How to Know When Chicken Is Done
Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. You want it to read 165 degrees.
You can also tell when chicken is done as the juices will just clear.
Can I make this into a freezer meal
For a freezer meal, place all of the ingredients into a gallon-sized freezer bag and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw in the refrigerator prior to cooking according to the directions.
Can I Use Chicken Thighs
Feel free to reach for chicken thighs over breasts. Just follow the directions. You might find the thighs could cook a bit faster than a breast would so keep an eye on the internal temperature, you also want thighs to reach 165 degrees internally.
Can You Add Other Vegetables Into The Recipe
Absolutely, you can add in whatever are your favorite vegetables. If using fresh add them in the same time you would the potatoes and carrots. If you are using frozen vegetables, you can add those in the last hour of cooking.
What to Serve With
- Dinner rolls or even bread
- A delicious green salad like this Strawberry Fields Salad with Balsamic Vinaigrette
- Cucumber and onions or other cool summer foods
Get creative and try out different sides to pair with chicken. Or skip the sides and just eat meat and potatoes.
