Can I use boneless thighs?
Yes! Boneless thighs work well, but you will need to reduce the cooking time to about 20 minutes.
Can I use chicken breasts?
Chicken breasts tend to dry out much easier than thighs so if you choose to use them in this recipe, you'll need to adjust the cooking time.
You'll want to bake chicken breasts for about 18 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
