Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Reheat gently to avoid drying out the chicken.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the cooked dish for up to three months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
  • Pairing: Serve with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • Variations: Try adding other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli for a unique twist.
  • Serving Temperature: For the best flavor, serve the dish warm, right from the skillet.
  • Extra Flavor: Feel free to add herbs like cilantro or parsley for a fresh touch before serving.
