Tenderize & Season

1 minuteWarm up the RichPea pouch using either a microwave or stovetop, following package instructions.
Assemble Your Plate

Cooking Tips
- Poking holes in the chicken helps seasoning penetrate and speeds cooking.
- Air frying gives the best texture — tender inside, crisp edges.
- Add avocado just before serving to prevent browning.
- If using thick chicken, cook for an extra 2 minutes.
Storage Tips
- Store avocado separately; it browns quickly.
- Chicken bowl lasts 3–4 days in the fridge.
- Reheat chicken in air fryer or microwave (but only briefly).
