Tips

- Use a good quality chicken. Choose your chicken carefully, as it should be free from any sort of parasites or diseases that might affect its taste or quality; for example, if you’re buying frozen chicken at the store, look for ones that have been thawed in water with salt added before cooking them (this will help kill off any bacteria).
- Add lemon juice when serving! If you’re not ready to eat right away after cooking this dish but still want something extra tangy on top of all those vegetables, try throwing some lemon juice into the pan at one point during cooking time—it will add great flavor without changing much else about how things turn out!
