Suggestions
Your pantry looking a bit sparse? Swap chicken breasts for thighs if you’re feeling adventurous. For a burst of color, garnish with sun-dried tomatoes or roasted red peppers. Feel like going the extra mile? Serve over pasta or alongside a heap of garlic mashed potatoes. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want to bring the heat. Remember, the kitchen’s your playground!
