💡 Cooking Tips

• For juicier chicken, let it marinate for up to 30 minutes if you have extra time.
• If grilling isn't an option, a non-stick skillet works great.
• Slice the chicken against the grain for maximum tenderness.
• Add more greens or veggies if you want more volume without adding many calories.
• Always check the chicken is cooked thoroughly – internal temp should reach 74°C/165°F.
