Chicken and Rice Meal Prep Bowls
Description
Chicken and Rice Meal Prep Bowls are designed for practical, portion-controlled meals. The chicken breast is seasoned with a homemade blend and cooked in olive oil until fully done, ensuring a juicy texture without dryness. Rice is cooked separately and can be prepared in advance or purchased pre-cooked for convenience. Steamed green beans add a fresh and crisp vegetable side.
The assembled bowls contain equal portions of rice, chicken, and green beans, airtight stored and refrigerated to maintain freshness. They can be quickly reheated in the microwave, making them a suitable option for work lunches or quick dinners.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons chicken seasoning homemade
- 2 cups rice cooked
- 2 cups green beans steamed
Instructions
- Cook the rice ahead of time or use prepackaged cooked rice for convenience.
- Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with my homemade chicken seasoning.
- Add the olive oil to a skillet and cook the chicken over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes on each side. The chicken should be cooked through and no longer pink. You can also use my air fryer method for cooking the chicken if you prefer!
- Steam the vegetables until tender.
- To assemble the bowls, evenly divide all of the cooked ingredients into four sealable containers.
- Each container will contain 1/2 cup rice, 1/2 cup cooked chicken, and 1/2 cup green beans.
- Seal the containers and store them in the refrigerator until ready to eat. Warm in the microwave and enjoy!
