  7. Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley and lemon juice.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.

Notes

For best flavor, ensure to brown the chicken well. Feel free to add more vegetables like zucchini or spinach for added nutrition. For a spicy kick, add some red pepper flakes while cooking. This dish is perfect for meal prep and can easily be made in advance.
