Description
A fast and filling chicken and rice meal prep dish that’s perfect for busy weekdays.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 2 cups water or chicken broth
- 1 lb chicken breast, cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (like peas, carrots, and corn)
- Soy sauce or any preferred sauce for serving
Instructions
- Boil the rice: In a medium pot, bring water or chicken broth to a boil. Add the rice, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
- Sauté the chicken: While the rice is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add mixed vegetables to the skillet and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until heated through.
- Assemble the meal prep: Once the rice is done, divide it into meal prep containers and top with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Drizzle with soy sauce if desired.
- Cool and store: Let the meals cool before sealing the containers and storing them in the fridge for easy grab-and-go lunches or dinners.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with a cucumber salad or a zesty citrus dressing. Customize with different veggies or sauces as desired.
