Notes
- Use a Wok, Sauté pan, or a cast-iron skillet. A wok is great for Asian dishes, but you don't have to use one.
- Dice the vegetables very small. This is one of the keys to making sure every bite is bursting with both texture and flavor
- Brown the chicken. Making sure the chicken is nice and crispy and brown is essential to the overall flavor and texture of this dish!
- You can spice this up a bit by adding jalapenos.
