💡 Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, marinate the chicken longer (up to 30 minutes if you have time).
• If you prefer, use a stovetop grill pan for convenience.
• To save time, chop veggies while the chicken grills.
• Always let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
• Adjust lemon juice or mustard in the dressing to match your personal taste.
