Directions

This recipe takes impromptu decisions. I threw in left over spagetti sauce (sweet basil and onion) and used chicken thighs instead of all breast meat. You can make it with more heat (e.g. jalapeno pepper or cayanne pepper), saltier, garlic or other veggies like corn. Dicing the chicken took the most time but ended up well worth it. Doubleplus yum!
