# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together faster than deciding what to order for delivery, yet tastes intentional and nourishing.
  • Every component is customizable, so you're never eating the same bowl twice unless you want to.
  • Rotisserie chicken does the heavy lifting, leaving you free to arrange rather than actually cook.
02 -
  • Remove the rotisserie chicken skin before shredding if you want the bowl to feel light; keep it if you're hungry and want richness.
  • Slice avocado moments before assembly, because it oxidizes fast and nobody enjoys that gray-brown disappointment.
03 -
  • Rotisserie chickens vary in seasoning by store and brand, so taste as you shred and adjust your sauce choice accordingly—a heavily seasoned chicken needs less salty sauce.
  • If you're prepping these for meal prep, keep sauce and avocado separate until you're ready to eat, assembling everything else the night before so you're just thirty seconds away from lunch.
