Notes

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat to maintain texture. Make-Ahead: Slice the vegetables and chicken up to 24 hours in advance and store separately in the fridge. Variations: Swap chicken for flank steak or shrimp. For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or in lettuce wraps.
