Tips

Use chicken thighs over breasts for a juicier result.
When meal prepping to reheat, put salad and meat into separate ziploc bags to avoid getting the rice soggy.
When ready to eat, microwave rice with a wet paper towel first to steam it, then add meat and microwave until warm, and finally add veggies on top to preserve crunch.
