For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in the sauce for at least 30 minutes before cooking. You can add more vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for added nutrition. If you like a bit of spice, consider adding red pepper flakes or sriracha to the sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
