💡 Cooking Tips

• Ensure the chicken is cooked thoroughly by checking that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken with herbs and spices for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
• Rinse quinoa well to remove its natural bitter coating called saponin.
• Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference or what's in season.
