Tips:

Prep Your Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure you don't miss anything important.
Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Try to use organic produce and free-range chicken whenever possible.
Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate meat that can easily become dry and tough if overcooked. Cook it until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Make Sure Your Sauce is Thick Enough: The sauce is an important part of this dish, so make sure it's thick enough to coat the chicken and vegetables. If your sauce is too thin, you can thicken it with cornstarch or flour.
Serve Over Rice or Noodles: This dish is traditionally served over rice or noodles. However, you can also serve it with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish.
