Notes

Remember to use high heat when you're cooking the veggies . You want them to soften up just a bit, but still retain that crunch and color.
Add a splash of water or chicken stock to adjust the consistency of the sauce.

Remember to slice or cut chicken and veggies into uniform sizes for even cooking. Do not overcrowd the chicken in the skillet, and avoid overcooking the veggies.
