Instructions
- Season chicken and cook until golden outside and juicy inside. Let it rest briefly before slicing.
- Prepare grains until fluffy and tender. Chop vegetables into bite-size pieces for easy eating.
- Layer grains, vegetables, and sliced chicken in bowls. Drizzle dressing evenly and toss gently if desired.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate portions for meal prep. Reheat protein gently to keep it moist and flavorful.
Notes
Cook chicken slightly less for a softer texture or longer for crispier edges. Freeze cooked protein separately for easy lunches. Assemble just before serving for the freshest texture. Swap vegetables, grains, or seasonings to customize flavors. Store refrigerated for up to four days.
