Ingredients
For the Chicken and Vegetables
- 1 lb spiced chicken (cubed) Consider using skinless, boneless chicken breast for a lighter option.
- 2 cups assorted grilled vegetables (zucchini, bell peppers, onions) Feel free to swap in your favorites based on what's in season.
For the Sauce

Instructions
Preparation
- In a bowl, combine the cubed chicken with spices of your choice and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
Cooking

Sauce Preparation

Notes
For an elegant touch, drizzle a bit of extra virgin olive oil over the finished bowl. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice just before serving enhances the flavors beautifully.
