Notes
Ground Chicken: Substitute ground turkey. Vegetables: This is a great recipe to throw in any leftover veggies from your fridge, like chopped celery, bok choy, bean sprouts, shredded Brussels sprouts, zucchini, or summer squash. Sauté the veggies until tender when you add them to the skillet. If you add a lot of extra veggies to this recipe, you may want to make more sauce. Vegetarian: Substitute the meat for tofu, or leave it out completely, adding extra veggies instead. Make Ahead Instructions: All of the veggies can be chopped ahead, and the sauce can be made 2-3 days in advance. This is a great recipe for meal prep, as leftovers will keep in the fridge for several days and taste great reheated.
