🍗Variations

Feel free to change this recipe to go with your tastes. I suggest several options:

• Proteins - Italian sausage would be absolutely delicious to replace chicken in this recipe!
• More veggies - baby spinach (in season from December to June) or cherry tomatoes (in season from June to September included)
• Spice it up with some red pepper flakes or a pinch of Cayenne pepper.

👩🏻‍🍳Chef's tips

1. If you want to be 100% sure your chicken breasts are food-safe, you can insert a meat thermometer into them: if the internal temperature is below 330°F/165°C (according to the US Department of Agriculture), leave them to cook for a few more minutes.
2. For even more deliciousness, serve this dish with a garlic bread.

❄️ Storage and freezing

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat - place leftovers in a microwave safe dish and heat until pipping hot.
• Freezing - place each portion in a freezer bag and pop into the freezer, with the date and recipe name.
• Defrosting - place what you want to eat in a preheated oven (320°F/160°C) for 10 to 15 minutes, until perfectly hot.
