Variations: Note - This recipe is easily adjustable - hither are a few dissimilar ways that I accept made it:
You tin add together some other chicken thorax if you lot similar it amongst to a greater extent than chicken.
You tin add together to a greater extent than or less cheese depending on your tastes.
