4 Ingredient Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

Putting together meals for the week takes less than 20 minutes of cooking time!

4 ingredients is all you need for easy, balanced meals!

Ingredients:

• 1.5 pound Chicken Breast, shrimp, steak or protein of your choice

• 1-3 bags of frozen, microwavable broccoli or vegetable of your choice **For athletes prepping for meets, you can add in frozen cauliflower rice to keep the volume high.

• 1-3 bags of microwavable rice, brand of your choice

• Additional toppings of your choice, avocado or spicy mayo/aioli balances this meal out nicely.

For the Marinade:

You can make your own or use a pre-made one.

For pre-made, check out Mr. Yoshida’s Marinade & Cooking Sauce

For this particular recipe, we used “Just a Great Chicken Marinade” from RecipeTinEats

• 2 tbsp honey or brown sugar

• 1 tbsp olive oil (or any oil)

• 5 tbsp soy sauce

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

• 4 garlic cloves , minced

• 1 tsp dried oregano (or rosemary, thyme, minced herbs)

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• *If you like extra flavor, double this recipe and use half to serve over your prepped chicken bowls.

Directions:

• In a small bowl, whisk the marinade ingredients. Place chicken into a ziploc bag and cover with marinade. If using store bought, pour enough marinade that the chicken is completely covered. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes to 24 hours.

• When you are finished marinading, chop your chicken breast into bite sized pieces.

• Heat up a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Wait a few minutes for the oil to heat up. Add in the diced chicken. Cook until internal temperature shows 155. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until internal temp is at 165.

• While the chicken cooks, cook your rice and frozen vegetables according to package instructions.

• Grab a few of your favorite meal prep containers and portion how your chicken, vegetable, and rice however you like.

• When it’s time to eat, bring along some extra sauce to pour over. Enjoy!
