This recipe and the Bourbon Street chicken both sound good. However, I absolutely refuse to cut up raw chicken. Do you think it would cause a problem to cook the chicken and then cut it in pieces?
I have never even considered trying that before but I believe it will work. Increase cooking time for your chicken breasts though. Please let me know how it goes if you try it. I would love to hear! All the best. Karin
