Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
Actually the first time I made this, I did just that. The vegetables turned out soggy and overcooked. The second time, I waited and added them the last 15 minutes. It cooks the frozen vegetables perfectly!

You can use either. Chicken breasts are delicious, chicken thighs are always juicy and tender. Use what you prefer.
