Notes
Use quinoa for a lighter, protein-rich option or rice for a comforting base. Add toasted nuts like almonds or walnuts for extra crunch. Adjust honey and lemon juice to balance sweetness and acidity. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently to keep the chicken juicy and flavorful.
