💡 Cooking Tips

• For juicier chicken, let it marinate in the olive oil and herbs for at least 30 minutes before grilling.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) for safe eating.
• Slice the chicken against the grain for extra tenderness.
• Add more veggies like bell pepper or carrots for extra crunch and nutrients.
