Notes
- This makes about 5 bowls. I store them in separate glass containers.
- Store the toppings separately (e.g. chopped bell peppers, cheese, avocado) and add when serving.
- I started using half chicken thighs & half chicken breasts because when I did chicken breasts only, the meat would be comparatively dry. The half & half combination has been a great balance of moisture.
- Try experimenting with combinations of rice, farro, couscous.
