💡 Cooking Tips
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to 74°C (165°F) for food safety.
- Allowing the chicken to rest before slicing keeps it juicy.
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in lemon juice and herbs for 30 minutes before grilling.
- Slice vegetables just before serving to maintain a crisp texture.
- If meal-prepping, store the dressing separately and add it just before eating to prevent soggy greens.
