Recipe Tips
- Slice all vegetables to the same size so that they will cook evenly.
- Chicken slices tend to cook fast. Check the chicken using a meat thermometer so that you don't overcook it.
- Serve this recipe with taco shells or over a bed of rice.
- You can add extra toppings if you want, like sliced avocado, fresh lime, cilantro, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, sour cream and guacamole.
How To Store Leftovers
Refrigerate – Let the recipe cool completely, then cover it with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge up to 3-4 days. The vegetables will naturally get a little soggier over time but can still be enjoyed.
