Notes
Makes 5 servings
Check core temp (should be ~ 160-165F) to make sure that chicken has been cooked well. For faster, gentler cooking of the meat, cover the lid of the pot. This allows steam to cook the meats as well.
Serve with tomato dip, coconut chutney, herb dip, Primal Kitchen’s mayo or just eat it as such
