Notes

Freeze chicken in single layer for 15 mins before coating for extra crisp
Marinate sauce overnight for deeper flavor
Store in glass containers for 3-4 days
Best reheated to 165F (74C) with the lid vented; timing varies by microwave
Nutrition is estimated per bowl using 1 1/2 lb chicken breast; oil absorption and quinoa portions may vary.
