Serving: This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of steamed vegetables or a crisp salad. If you have any leftover rice or pasta, serve it as a base to soak up all the delicious sauce.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The dish can be reheated in the microwave or on the stovetop. For a longer shelf life, consider freezing the dish (without the rice or pasta) for up to 3 months.
Variations:
Vegetarian option: Replace the chicken with plant-based protein such as tofu, tempeh, or chickpeas for a hearty vegetarian meal.
Spicy version: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a diced jalapeño to the skillet when cooking the onions and garlic to spice things up.
Extra creamy: For a richer sauce, add a splash of heavy cream or a dollop of cream cheese to the skillet towards the end of cooking.
