# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 25 minutes, which means dinner can happen even on your most exhausting days.
  • You control every component, so picky eaters and adventurous ones can sit at the same table happily.
  • The rotisserie chicken does the heavy lifting, so you get restaurant-quality protein without the stress.
02 -
  • Prep all your vegetables before you even think about the chicken, because once you start building bowls there's no graceful pause to chop an avocado.
  • The sauce is not optional—I once tried to make a lighter version without it and ended up with a grain and chicken situation that felt lonely and needed something to tie it all together.
03 -
  • Toast your own sesame seeds in a dry pan right before assembly—the aroma and warmth make a measurable difference in how good each bite tastes.
  • Warm your bowl slightly by rinsing it with hot water before building—it keeps the grains at their best temperature and makes the eating experience feel more intentional.
