TIPS · Leeks sometimes contain sand that is hard to rinse away. To help remove, separate slices into rings and soak or rinse in cold water. Drain well before adding to favorite recipes.
>Chicken breast or turkey can be substituted for chicken thighs.
>When using dried basil, reduce quantity to ½ teaspoon.
>Half a 10-oz. package frozen chopped spinach can be substituted for fresh. Increase time in step 4 to 4 to 5 minutes to thaw spinach.
>Leftovers reheat well. Thin with additional water or chicken broth if necessary.
