Join the discussionHi, Tricia,
How much garlic for this recipe? I don’t see it in the ingredients.
Thanks,
Cheryl
Thanks for noticing that. I went ahead and added it. 🙂
Yum! This sounds great! I usually double the garlic anyways. 🙂
That recipe sounds good!
Double cooking time if chicken is still or part. frozen…like doesn’t thaw all the way before cooking?
That is correct Jenna – it might not need as much as double the time but probably close. It should reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
Is there a substitute for serrano pepper? I doubt I can find those where I’m at.
The most likely candidate would be a jalapeno pepper with the seeds removed, of course!
delish!
What kind of dish should I find that I can freeze and cook in, I have never frozen anything like this before 🙂
You can freeze in an 8×8 foil pan or a 9×9 glass or metal dish too.
