For a richer flavor, try using homemade chicken stock. Feel free to adjust the amount of hot sauce to your liking. A pinch of cayenne pepper can also be added for extra heat. If you don't have cooked chicken on hand, you can sauté diced chicken breast in the skillet before adding the vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley or green onions for a pop of color and freshness. For a smoky flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika.

Aug 26, 2024I found it a little too spicy for my kids, so I reduced the amount of hot sauce. Still delicious!
