Pro Tips
For best results, marinate the chicken for at least an hour.
Adjust the vegetables based on your preference or what's in season.

Troubleshooting
If the sauce is too thin, simmer it for a few more minutes to thicken.
If the chicken is bland, increase the marinating time or add more spices.
Recipe Variations
Use shrimp or tofu instead of chicken for a different protein.
Add other vegetables like carrots or zucchini.
Experiment with different sauces like teriyaki or hoisin.
Healthy Alternatives
Use low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos for a healthier option.
