Instructions

  • While everything bakes, whisk together the salsa verde, olive oil, honey, lime juice, and flaky salt until smooth.
  • Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
  • Divide cooked rice among serving bowls. Top with the roasted vegetables and sliced chicken. Drizzle generously with the honey lime vinaigrette.
