Plating:

Place a mound of cooked quinoa in the center of a large bowl, creating a foundation for the dish. Arrange the grilled chicken, steamed kale, shredded carrots, and quarter of an avocado neatly around the quinoa. Each ingredient should have its own section, like slices of a colourful pie. The bright greens of the kale and avocado contrast with the orange carrots and the browned chicken to create a visually appealing dish. Drizzle any remaining BBQ sauce over the chicken for added flavour and serve immediately while still warm. Enjoy your high-protein, beautifully plated BBQ Lemongrass Chicken Protein Bowl.
