Notes
You can use other cuts of chicken in this recipe. Just make sure that whatever you use is boneless and skinless for the best texture and taste.
I tend to add the chicken in whole, but you can easily chop it up and add it in that way.
Try and dice up the vegetables to be about the same size. This is just a really great way to keep the texture the same for the dish throughout.
Feel free to add other vegetables like mushrooms or even okra to this dish.
