Notes
This dish comes together fast, so you need to have everything chopped, measured, and ready to go.
Don't overcrowd the pan if you use a smaller pan cook in batches.
If you use chicken breasts instead of thighs, just make sure you adjust the cooking time as chicken breasts will dry out if cooked too long.
To get the best color, you need to have a super hot pan, a cast-iron pan does just that. A stainless steel pan will also work.
