Tips:
- Prep work: For faster cooking, make sure to chop the chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces before starting.
- Seasoning: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. You can add more chili powder, cumin, or paprika for a spicier flavor, or add a squeeze of lime juice for a brighter flavor.
