Notes

Note 1: I use chicken in this recipe, but feel free to substitute with about 3/4 pound of what protein you like best. Alternatively, grilled chicken, shrimp, fish, or steak would be tasty. Whatever you like best!
Storage: Store components separately, warm them, and assemble just before eating.
