Notes

Feel free to swap chicken thighs for breasts or even use turkey for a leaner option. You can also add veggies like bell peppers or broccoli for a colorful twist or use your favorite hot sauce to amp up the flavors. Let the finished dish rest for optimal texture and flavor development before serving.
