For extra flavor, try adding a bay leaf or a sprig of thyme to the pot before cooking. Feel free to substitute other vegetables, such as broccoli florets, bell peppers, or zucchini. If you don't have lemon pepper seasoning, you can use a combination of black pepper, lemon zest, and a pinch of garlic powder. Ensure chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
