For best results

• For best flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but overnight yields even more depth.
• Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F without overcooking.
• Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.

Variations

• Swap chicken for turkey breast or firm tofu for a different protein option.
• Add a sprinkle of crumbled feta or cotija cheese for extra creaminess.
• Serve over a bed of mixed greens for a complete salad meal.
