For a richer flavor, use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Adjust cooking time accordingly. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Serve over a bed of polenta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce. For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more vegetables, such as bell peppers or mushrooms.
