Serve the plate warm for best flavor. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers: chicken and rice in the fridge for up to 3 days, and salad ingredients should be kept fresh and dressed just before serving.
Variations:
Swap the chicken breast for thighs or turkey breast if preferred.
Add avocado slices or a sprinkle of feta cheese to the salad for extra creaminess.
Use brown rice or quinoa instead of yellow rice for a different texture and added nutrients.
