Tips:
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
- Use a large enough pan to ensure even cooking and to prevent overcrowding, which can cause uneven cooking.
- When cooking the rice, ensure it's properly rinsed to remove excess starch, which can make the rice sticky.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce mixture.
- If you prefer a crunchier texture, lightly sauté the vegetables before adding them to the pan.
- Always check the chicken for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Feel free to substitute basmati rice with other types of rice, like jasmine or brown rice, based on your preference.
