Notes
- I love using a slice of bacon for my fat when cooking. It adds great flavor and there is no need to use additional oil.
- I actually used frozen chicken for this. I just zapped my breast in the microwave for a few seconds to make it easier to cut. I prefer this method because cutting raw chicken is a pain in the ass.
- This was great at room temperature. I actually made it in the morning but didn't it eat it until I was at work.
- If you are trying to lowe calories/fat a bit more just skip the walnut. It will still be good without them. I'm on a nut kick at the moment. Trying to incorporate an ounce or two to my diet per week. The benefits seem pretty undisputed.
