Chicken Tikka
If you're going to prepare a recipe that calls for cubed or shredded chicken why not buy boneless skinless chicken thighs instead of the pricier breast? You can make this substitution in just about any recipe calling for boneless skinless chicken breasts, simply double the amount of breast to get the number of thighs needed. (If a recipe calls for four breasts, you will need eight thighs.)
Chicken thighs are also delicious prepared bone-in and with skin on the barbecue, as in the recipe Super Simple Chicken Thighs. These small, juicy portions are perfect for a lunch-time meal, or a light dinner.
