Notes

Works for a hot or cold meal. Enjoy your BBQ chicken taco bowl, warm or cold! It works both ways. I love the flexibility and it makes it perfect to carry on the go.
Carry on the go. I like to pack up the BBQ chicken separately when taking this along for a meal on the go. This way the veggies all stay nice and crisp, and if I want to warm up the chicken I can pop it in the microwave.
Customize your chicken bowl. Feel free to swap out the veggies, add more, or use a different protein. Check out the variations section above for some ideas!
