Recipe Notes
The traditional version of this uses whole chicken pieces, and if you use them with the skin on, it will add about 75 to 100 calories to each serving. I prefer the boneless, skinless chicken thighs because they have all the savory flavor, but fewer calories – and you don’t have to fight with your food.
