I will be working with this recipe this evening and am considering a alternate finished product to go along side the standard one. Here on the Gulf Coast you pictured version is common, I am discovering all too often an empanada pastry shell is filled with such goodness as yours, baked until lightly browned and served as appetizers. I believe this recipe would be perfect for that idea as long as it doesn’t bleed thru. If your interested in the results, please let me know. Thanks again for a great recipe.

I am going to try this in my cast iron pan but haven’t yet. I don’t heat it long before adding the oil but when I am cooking chicken that is likely to stick I make sure that my oil is hot before adding. You also will see the butter (if using real butter) start to brown and you know that it is the time to add chicken. It needs to sizzle when your chicken touches the pan.
