Recipe Notes –
Chicken Thigh –
If using chicken thigh, sear for 4 minutes on each side and instead of baking for 13 minutes, do so for 16 minutes.
Garlic –
The flavour from 2 garlic cloves would be enough for most palettes. If you really like garlic, use 3 cloves. Like is said in the video, it’s easy to add but once in, it cant be removed.
Pinenuts –
Pinenuts can be very expensive and can be substituted with a wide range of nuts such as macadamia, almonds, cashews and walnuts and pistachios. If allergies are a concern, they can be left out completely.
To store, place the containers in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight, before reheating or taking it out with you.
*It’s recommended to freeze and thaw overnight when needed, especially if you know you won’t eat it all within the 3 day time period*
To heat, place in the microwave, pop the air vent on the lid of the container and heat in bursts until the chicken is hot in the centre.
