Method
 

  1. Choose 2 to 3 sides that balance the plate with a mix of crunchy, starchy, and vegetable options; add a sauce or dip if desired.
  2. Start cooking the longest preparation time side first, then proceed with quicker sides to coordinate meal timing.
  3. Plate the sides with the chicken and drizzle sauce or dip over or alongside as preferred before serving.

Notes

Start with a starchy side and add a crisp vegetable side to keep the plate balanced and prevent heavy or mushy textures.
