For an extra layer of flavor, try grilling the chicken and vegetables before adding them to the pasta. If you don't have angel hair pasta, you can substitute it with other thin pasta like spaghetti or capellini. Feel free to add other vegetables to this dish, such as zucchini, mushrooms, or spinach. To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and add some cannellini beans or chickpeas for protein. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.
