Notes
For a leaner option, swap the bacon for turkey bacon or omit it altogether.
Experiment with different vegetables, such as roasted Brussels sprouts, sautéed spinach, or grilled asparagus.
Add a kick of heat by incorporating a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or a drizzle of hot sauce.
Make it vegetarian by replacing the chicken with roasted chickpeas or sautéed tofu.
Serve over quinoa or cauliflower rice for a low-carb alternative.
