  9. To add extra flavor, squeeze some lemon juice over the cooked chicken before serving.

Notes

To add extra flavor, squeeze some lemon juice over the cooked chicken before serving.
You can substitute sweet potatoes for regular potatoes if preferred, or add other vegetables such as celery or bell peppers.
