💡 Cooking Tips

• For juicier chicken, let it marinate in the vinaigrette for up to 15 minutes before grilling.
• To save time, prepare the veggies and dressing while the chicken cooks.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches 75°C (165°F) for food safety.
• Add a sprinkle of seeds for extra crunch and nutrients if desired.
