Chef's Note

For the best texture, make sure not to overcook the chicken. It should be just cooked through to keep it tender and juicy. You can prepare the vegetables and sauce ahead of time to make this an even quicker weeknight meal. For a more substantial dinner, serve with a side of brown rice or quinoa.
