For a richer flavor, consider browning the chicken in butter before adding the vegetables. Feel free to substitute other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or peas based on your preference and what you have on hand. If you prefer a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce. To ensure even cooking, cut the vegetables into uniformly sized pieces. Fresh basil can be used in place of dry basil. Add it at the end, along with the cheese, for the best flavor.
