  6. Stir in the shredded chicken and snap peas, cooking for another 5-7 minutes until heated through and the snap peas are tender-crisp.

Notes

  • For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu and use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • Add extra vegetables like spinach or carrots for added nutrition and color.
