How to trim boneless chicken?

Trimming boneless chicken is a simple process that can be done in a few easy steps:

1. Start by removing any visible fat or gristle from the chicken. Use a sharp knife to cut away any excess fat or tissue.
2. Check the chicken for any remaining bone fragments. Even though the chicken is boneless, there may be small fragments of bone left behind from the butchering process. Use your fingers or a pair of tweezers to remove any bone fragments.
3. Trim off any remaining skin or tendons. Use a sharp knife to remove any visible skin or tendons from the chicken. This will help to make the chicken more tender and easier to eat.
4. Cut the chicken into the desired size and shape. Depending on the recipe, you may need to cut the chicken into smaller pieces or leave it whole. Use a sharp knife to cut the chicken into the desired size and shape.

Tips to Make the Best Company Chicken Casserole

1. If you’re short of time, you can use canned chicken breasts instead of fresh chicken. 
2. I added broccoli to the recipe; however, you can add anything you like, for instance, cheese, cauliflower, or mushrooms.
3. Keep an eye on the casserole while baking to avoid burning the top layer. 
4. While store-bought chicken broth tastes nice, you can use homemade broth to add more flavor and health to the casserole.

Can I make this recipe with chicken tenders? 

Yes, you can make this recipe with chicken tenders instead of boneless chicken breasts. Chicken tenders are a convenient option as they are already trimmed and ready to use. However, you may need to adjust the cooking time as chicken tenders cook faster than chicken breasts.

It is important to ensure that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F to ensure it is cooked through. Also, keep in mind that chicken tenders may result in a slightly different texture compared to chicken breasts, but they will still work well in this recipe.
