Recipe Tips
- Cut Chicken – Ensure that the chicken chunks are of uniform thickness for even cooking. If they’re too thick, they might take longer to cook. I like to cut into bite-size pieces about 1-inch cubes.
- Cut Veggies – Prepare the vegetables ahead of time by cutting vegetables in about the size pieces. This make this recipe quick and easy by preparing vegetables.
- Serving – This recipe is delicious served with noodles, white rice, and cauliflower rice.
