The CHEF TIPS:
Variations
For a lower cost option, cook raw chicken breast to 165 °F, and cut into ½" diced pieces.
For 6 servings use 12¾ oz; for 25 servings, use 3 lbs 4¾ oz; and for 50 servings, use 6 lbs 9½ oz.
If chicken is frozen, defrost in the refrigerator for 1 day per 1–5 pounds. Hold raw chicken at 40 °F or lower.
If serving younger children, chop spinach.
Spaghetti noodles may be substituted for the egg noodles; however, cooking time will vary.
