Notes

Note:
  1. Chicken Thigh fillets should be used not chicken breast. Cut each fillet into 6 pieces. see note in the story.
  2. If you don't have a ThermoServer see the suggested equipment at the top of the recipe card under "equipment". This item is a lot cheaper than a ThermoServer and the lid locks into place allowing food to be transported easily without risk of spillage.
