- Feel free to use whatever vegetables you have in your fridge. Try to only use quick cooking vegetables.
- Add some extra greens by stirring in some spinach about 5 minutes before it is ready.
- Add a little sprinkling of parmesan cheese on top at the end to make this an extra special chicken dish.
- Serve with homemade potato wedges, on top or spaghetti, mashed potato or rice or just with some crusty bread
