Other vegetables, such as yellow bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini, can be added to this dish for extra nutrients and flavor.
If you don't have fresh broccoli, you can use frozen broccoli florets. Just be sure to thaw and drain them well before adding them to the skillet.
Lemon zest can be added at the end to make the dish more flavorful.
