Notes

  • chicken: I love using chicken breasts since they are leaner but if you are a fan of chicken thighs and you aren't counting macros, you can use boneless chicken thighs.
  • broth: the recipe is that of chicken so I used chicken broth. you may use vegetable broth.
  • please use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder
  • all-purpose or whole wheat flour can be used instead of gluten-free flour. Alternatively, you may use cornstarch in place of the flour.
  • do not overcook the chicken breast to prevent them from drying out and get that rubbery texture.
