WHY WE LOVE IT
We love this recipe because it’s simple, reliable, and works with almost anything. You can make once and turn into many meals throughout the week.
A LITTLE STORY
For centuries, chicken was cooked slowly over fire and shared in large meals. Today, we bake it in ovens and slice it into quick strips, but the heart of it is the same: nourishment, simplicity, and gathering around food.
DID YOU KNOW?
Chicken is fully cooked and safe to eat when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
