Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop until warmed through.
Variations:
- Substitute ground turkey or beef for the ground chicken.
- Add black beans or kidney beans for extra protein and fiber.
- Use riced broccoli instead of cauliflower for a different flavor.
- Top with your favorite salsa or hot sauce for added heat.
- Incorporate other vegetables like zucchini or corn for a twist.
