For a richer flavor, try using chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
Add other vegetables like bell peppers, snap peas, or broccoli for a more complete meal.
If you like it extra spicy, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of chili oil along with the cayenne pepper.
Make sure your wok or skillet is hot before adding the chicken to get a good sear and prevent sticking.
