For an added layer of flavor, consider marinating the chicken in a mixture of lime juice, olive oil, and herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Feel free to experiment with different vegetables based on your preference and what's in season. Bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach would all be excellent additions. If you prefer a creamier dish, stir in a dollop of Greek yogurt or a splash of cream at the end of cooking. To save time, you can use pre-cooked quinoa or rotisserie chicken.
