Notes
Always pat chicken dry before marinating to help the flavor stick.
Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; chicken should reach 165°F.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing to keep it juicy.
Chop veggies uniformly for best texture.
For a tangier kick, add extra lemon zest.
Store components separately in the fridge (chicken up to 4 days, greens and veggies in another container). Reheat chicken gently with a splash of water to keep it moist.
Assemble bowls fresh each time to prevent soggy greens.
