Notes

Chicken Breast w/rib: In order to save money I bought 2 chicken breasts with rib. You will get the same result in your dish whether you buy breasts or breasts with rib. Here's the trick to boiling chicken breast.
  • Bring water to a rolling boil and then drop in the chicken breast. Boil vigorously for 3 minutes. Then drop the heat lower to about a simmer and boil for another 7-10 minutes until done.
Cheese: I shredded 8 oz. of Colby jack cheese, but you can use any cheese you like or combination of cheese.
Vegetables: You can chop up any vegetables you like and add to this recipe! It's a no fail dish! Use what's in season and chop nice and small and add it!
Aioli Sauce: Don't overthink this...no measurements needed. Just add ABOUT:
  • 6 tbsp. of mayo
  • minced garlic (about 2 cloves)
  • juice of 1/4 lemon
  • fresh parsley
