Notes

Substitutions: Feel free to swap the chicken for grilled shrimp or a plant-based protein. Timing is key; ensure your rice is ready before starting the chicken to keep everything warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze components separately for up to 3 months.
