Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in a covered dish for 1-2 minutes until hot.
Variations:
- Swap chicken for shrimp or beef for a different protein.
- Add other low carb vegetables like zucchini, asparagus, or mushrooms.
- Include a handful of spinach or kale for extra greens.
- Make it spicy by adding red pepper flakes or sliced jalapeños.
