Recipe Note
Expert Tips, Variations & FAQ's:
- *You can use a pre-cooked bbq chicken for this dish, as well as left over chicken from the night before
- The Chicken can be good in a pan on the bbq, airfryer or even oven, whichever you find easiest and you can make the chicken in advance and just reheat to make it a quicker lunch to prep
- *You can use the microwavable rice cups for this too instead of cooking your rice from scratch
- Add any salad ingredients you like, I like the added flavour of the pickled onion but you can don't need to add it on
- You can add some herbs to your chicken as well my fav combo is garlic, onion powder, sweet paprika, oregano or rosemary
