Notes
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain crispiness. Make-Ahead: You can prep the chicken marinade and chop the vegetables up to 1 day in advance. Variations: Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end for brightness, or toss in a handful of cherry tomatoes for extra color. For extra protein, serve over a bed of cooked brown rice or quinoa.
