Key Ingredients

For the absolute best results, be sure to select high-quality ingredients. When it comes to chicken, opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts from a reputable brand or your local butcher. Our preferred choice for the job is Kirkwood.

We find that using olive oil for cooking makes a big difference in the overall flavor and can’t stress enough the importance of using a good quality olive oil that has a full-bodied, peppery taste to elevate the dish. We highly recommend Prince of Peas‘ lavender artisan olive oil for when the goal is adding an extraordinary olive oil touch to your recipes.
