Notes
- When sautéing the chicken pieces, avoid overcrowding the pan, do it in batches if necessary.
- You can half the amount of the oil to make it more healthy if you want to. Just make sure you use a nonstick pan to avoid the chicken and vegetables sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- If you use frozen chicken, make sure to defrost or thaw it before using it.
- You can keep the leftovers for up to five days when refrigerated in an airtight container.
