Tips

  • Use Thinly Sliced Chicken: This ensures even cooking and maximum flavor absorption.
  • Don’t Overcook the Garlic: Burnt garlic gives a bitter taste, so sauté just until fragrant.
  • Adjust Sauce Consistency: If you want more sauce, add extra broth. For a thicker sauce, let it simmer longer.
  • Enhance the Flavor: A splash of extra lemon juice right before serving brightens the dish.
