How To Make It

Chef’s Tips

If you do not have precooked chicken, you can cook raw chicken by cutting it into bite-sized pieces and cooking in oil on a skillet over medium-high heat. Season with salt and stir. Cook until browned all over, about 5 minutes.If you are vegetarian, or just don’t have chicken available, you can omit it.For those on a gluten-free diet, use gluten-free pasta.
