# Expert tips:

01 -
  • It transforms a grocery store chicken into something that feels restaurant-worthy without any actual cooking skill required.
  • Everyone customizes their own bowl, so picky eaters and adventurous eaters both leave happy.
  • You can prep all the components ahead and assemble in under five minutes when hunger strikes.
  • It uses up whatever vegetables are lingering in your crisper drawer, making it endlessly adaptable.
02 -
  • Don't skip removing the chicken skin before shredding, it gets slimy and unpleasant when mixed into a bowl like this.
  • Cold grains turn gummy and sad, so reheat them gently with a splash of water if you're using leftovers.
  • Slice the avocado at the very last second, even a few minutes of exposure to air will start the browning process.
03 -
  • Use wide, shallow bowls instead of deep ones so you can see all the beautiful components and get a little bit of everything in each bite.
  • Toss the grains with a tiny drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon before adding toppings to keep them from clumping and add extra flavor.
  • If you're serving these for a crowd, set up a DIY bowl bar with all the components in separate dishes and let everyone build their own.
