Notes
- Substitutions:
- How to cook the chicken:
- You can simply grill or steam the skinless chicken breasts (you can also use skinless and boneless thighs if you like).
- How To Store:
- You can store coronation chicken leftovers in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to two days. I don't recommend storing it in the freezer.
