Notes

This dish can be made spicier by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a chopped chili pepper.

For a vegetarian option, substitute chicken with chickpeas or cauliflower.

The dish can be enriched by adding more vegetables like broccoli or sweet potatoes.

The flavor enhances if you let the dish sit for a few hours before serving.

Leftovers can be easily stored in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for future meals.
