✨ Pro Tips
✔ Add a splash of pineapple juice for extra flavor
✔ For caramelization, open packets and broil 2–3 minutes
✔ Use thighs for even juicier results
✔ Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat
🍚 Make It a Full Meal
Serve with:

If you’d like, I can give you a make-ahead freezer version or a low-carb version without rice.
