Tips for Making the Best TikTok-Inspired Dinner
- Seasonings: Experiment with different seasonings to find your favorite combination. Consider adding herbs like thyme or rosemary.
- Vegetables: Add some vegetables like peas, carrots, or mushrooms to the mix for added nutrition and flavor.
- Cheese: Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top during the last 10 minutes of baking for an extra cheesy finish.
- Chicken: Ensure the chicken is cooked through by checking its internal temperature, which should reach 165°F.
- Consistency: If the mixture seems too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth to achieve the desired consistency.
How to Store
- Refrigerate: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Reheat in the microwave or oven until heated through. Add a splash of chicken broth if the mixture has thickened too much.
-
Freeze: For longer storage, freeze portions in airtight containers for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
