Preparation Steps
- 1
Prepare the Chicken
If using crispy chicken, fry the chicken breast until golden brown and fully cooked. If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and grill the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then slice into bite-sized pieces.
