💡 Cooking Tips

• Marinating the chicken for a longer period enhances the flavor and tenderness.
• Ensure the grill is properly preheated to prevent the chicken from sticking.
• Cut vegetables into uniform sizes for even steaming.

• Feel free to substitute vegetables based on your preference or seasonal availability.
