Notes

Storage & Reheating:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave or reheat in a skillet over medium heat until heated through.
Variations:
- Substitute chicken with beef or shrimp for a different protein.
- Add other vegetables like carrots, snap peas, or broccoli for added nutrition.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce for a healthier option.
- Spice it up with red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce.
