💡 Cooking Tips

• For extra juicy chicken, avoid overcooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches 75°C (165°F).
• If you prefer, swap feta for another cheese or add extra herbs for a different flavor.
• You can meal prep the chicken ahead and store it for up to 3 days in the fridge.
• Dress the salad just before serving to keep greens crisp.
