Keep chicken tender and cook it safely
Match the cut in the recipe whenever possible. Boneless breasts, bone-in thighs, and cooked shredded chicken behave differently, so swapping one for another can change both timing and moisture. A thermometer gives a more reliable answer than color alone.

Frequently asked questions
What temperature should cooked chicken reach?
Chicken should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part, measured away from bone with a food thermometer. Check more than one piece when sizes differ.
Can I use rotisserie chicken?
Yes, when the recipe calls for cooked chicken. Remove bones and skin as directed, then measure the amount listed. Prepared chicken may already be salty, so taste the sauce before adding more salt.
