For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate longer, up to a few hours or even overnight.
Feel free to add other vegetables like carrots or zucchini for more color and nutrition.
Make sure to cut the bell peppers into similar sizes to ensure even cooking.
If you like a little heat, add some red pepper flakes to the marinade.
