Instructions
- Season the chicken generously and cook until golden with juicy centers. Roast vegetables until tender with lightly crisp edges. Prepare grains until fluffy. Assemble plates with grains first, then add chicken and vegetables. Serve warm for softer textures or roast longer for extra crispness and deeper flavor.
Notes
Adjust cooking time for softer or crispier vegetables. Freeze cooked protein separately for quick dinners later. Assemble plates just before serving to maintain texture. Change seasonings, sauces, or vegetables to suit preferences. Store leftovers in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to four days.
