💡 Cooking Tips

• If you prefer, you can grill the chicken outdoors for a smoky flavor.
• Allow the chicken to rest after grilling so the juices redistribute and the chicken stays moist.
• Chill the salad greens beforehand for maximum crispness.
• You can prep extra chicken ahead and use it in lunches all week for convenience.
• Always check that the chicken’s internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F) for safety.
