If you have leftover chicken, it can be added in the last few minutes of cooking so it doesn’t overcook. VEGETABLES  Thick slices of mushrooms & green peas are a great combination! If you’ve got other veggies like broccoli or asparagus, they work in this recipe too! RICE Basmati rice is fragrant and cooks perfectly in this recipe. You can use your favorite type of rice but depending on the variety, cook time may need to be adjusted.
