💡 Cooking Tips

• Ensure the quinoa is well-rinsed before cooking to remove any bitterness.
• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breast in herbs and garlic for 30 minutes before grilling.
• Use a meat thermometer to check the chicken's internal temperature, ensuring it reaches 75°C (165°F).
• Feel free to customize the salad with your favorite vegetables or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added taste.
