    Do you think it is possible to subsitute the chicken for fish?

    thanks Amarillis. I am assuming the fish would not take as long to cook. Did you have to adjust the cooking time?

    I have - I used snapper and it was great.
    And yes I remember it didn't take as long as chicken. I just checked every few minutes until I could flake it with a fork.
