- We prefer using chicken thighs for this recipe, although the photos show chicken breasts. Use whichever you have on hand!
- Chicken is considered safe to eat when it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to test the internal temperature.
- You may need to add in more broth if the rice has not fully cooked.
- Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days.
