Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider marinating the chicken in the Ellie Mcdonald Marinade for a few hours before cooking. If you don't have fresh thyme, dried thyme can be used as a substitute. You can also add other vegetables like zucchini or corn for extra nutrition. To save time, use pre-chopped vegetables or rotisserie chicken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use bone-in chicken for this recipe?
Yes, you can use bone-in chicken, but you'll need to adjust the cooking time. Bone-in pieces will take longer to cook through, so simmer until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Just ensure to remove the bones before serving.
What can I substitute for whole tomatoes?
If you don't have canned whole tomatoes, you can use diced tomatoes or even fresh tomatoes, though you'll need to peel and chop them. Tomato sauce or crushed tomatoes can also work, but adjust the quantity to maintain the desired consistency.
Is this dish spicy?
The level of spiciness can be adjusted by how much Tabasco you add. Start with a small amount and taste as you go. If you're looking for a milder flavor, omit the Tabasco or use a less spicy hot sauce.
