This has become a family favorite! I add veggies I have on hand and usually make it with ground turkey. I double the sauce because of all the veggies added. Love, love, love this recipe! So easy and quick to make!!

I think you probably overcrowd the pan. I wouldn’t cook more than 1 lb chicken in a large (12″) skillet at a time.
Next time when you want to double the recipe, the best way is to brown the chicken in batches – before adding aromatics etc, brown the chicken with a bit oil in the pan in two batches. I usually heat up the pan really hot, spread out the chicken and let it brown, then chop to semi-small pieces to cook more. Moving the chicken pieces less help browning them better. Then you can cook according to the recipe, saute the aromatics, add back the cooked chicken, then go directly to the sauce step. The chicken will be browned better this way and it won’t release too much water.

Hello! For some reason when I made this recipe all the chicken juice wouldn’t evaporate and the sauce/dish was very watery. I doubled the recipe so maybe I crowded the pan. Is there any way to avoid this in the future? Thank you!

Second time cooking this now as we loved it the first time so much! I double up the sauce because it’s so good… and would love to say there’s leftovers between the two of us for lettuce wraps the next day… but it is soooo good
