Notes

Store any delicious leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days, making your meal prep for the week a breeze.
When reheating, a quick sauté in a pan with a splash of extra chicken broth or water will help keep the chicken tender and vegetables fresh.
For a more complete meal, serve this flavorful skillet over a bed of steamed brown rice, quinoa, or even cauliflower rice to soak up all the delicious sauce.
Boost your aromatics by briefly sautéing the minced garlic and grated ginger for about 30 seconds before adding your vegetables; this "blooming" process truly enhances their depth of flavor.
