Notes
For a twist, try using 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning instead of parsley and thyme. Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken tenders or breasts; just ensure they are well-trimmed. To make a lighter version, swap the butter for chicken broth, or use water with a chicken bouillon cube. No alcoholic drinks allowed, please substitute with a non-alcoholic option.
