Expert Tips

  • Tip 1
    Variation: Make a quick chicken tortilla sandwich by cooking just the chicken breasts as directed. Spread 4 tortillas each with 2 tablespoons salsa and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese to within 1 inch of edge. Place chicken breast in centre, and fold sides of tortilla over chicken. Microwave briefly to melt cheese.
