Notes
Storage: Allow the Tasty Garlic Chicken Veggie Skillet to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months. If freezing, consider portioning it into individual servings for easier reheating later.
Reheating: To reheat, thaw the frozen skillet in the refrigerator overnight if applicable. Heat it up in a skillet over medium heat until warmed through, adding a splash of vegetable broth if needed to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use a microwave-safe dish and heat in 30-second intervals until hot.
Serving: Serve the Tasty Garlic Chicken Veggie Skillet warm, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or basil if desired. It pairs well with rice, quinoa, or crusty bread for a complete meal. Consider serving with a side salad to add freshness.
Chef’s Tip: For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in olive oil, garlic, and Italian herbs for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will enhance the dish’s taste and make the chicken even more tender and juicy.
