Notes
- Add bell peppers, mushrooms, or spinach for more vegetables.
- Use boneless chicken thighs for a juicier result.
- To make it low-dairy, omit cheese or use dairy-free cheese.
- To increase heat, add more red pepper flakes or cayenne.
- Skip tomatoes and add more zucchini or cauliflower for low-carb option.
- Not recommended for freezing due to water content in vegetables.
