- Swap chicken breasts with thighs or rotisserie chicken; use any mixed vegetables you have on hand
- Use sweet paprika for a mild flavor or add cayenne/red pepper flakes for extra heat
- Smoked paprika gives a deeper, bold flavor without extra spice
- Store in fridge 3–4 days or freeze up to 3 months in airtight containers
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave in intervals, stirring to maintain texture
