Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Since either chicken thighs or turkey thighs would work well in this recipe, purchase whichever one is priced less per pound for the best savings.
  • tip 2
    For added flavor, substitute a flavored diced tomato such as one with roasted garlic or one with added Italian seasoning.
