• 11 *i use tyson(fully cooked)southwest chicken breast strips for this this, but it just would not go into the computor right.
• 12 **note: you can make these with a purchased rotisserie chicken from your local grocery store, too. just pick the meat off, and cut it into pieces. leftover chicken, even bbq’ed, also works well for this. in a pinch, canned chicken (2-3 large cans) drained, also works.
• 13 just use whatever you have on hand for convenience or have a taste for!
