Notes

---

• Start your rice first, while it cooks, you can prep the chicken and veggies. With this multitasking, the whole meal comes together in about 20 minutes.
• Keep veggies slightly crisp for the best color and texture.
• Slice veggies evenly for faster, more consistent cooking.
• Add a squeeze of lime juice or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for brightness.
• Swap cashews for peanuts or almonds if you’d like a twist.
