Notes

*I typically use a small packet (.5 ounces) of mint as that's what my grocery store usually has available. More or less mint is fine.
I have only tested this recipe with chicken thighs, if you substitute chicken breasts you may need to add more water as the fat from the thighs helps prevent burning.
