For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast. Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, or sweet potatoes. Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to your preferred spice level. If you don't have peanut butter, you can substitute with almond butter or cashew butter. A squeeze of lemon juice at the end brightens up the flavors.
