Protein Meal Prep
- 2 cups cooked brown rice warm
- 1.5 lb chicken breast cubed
- 2 cups broccoli florets fresh
- 1 cup bell peppers sliced
- 2 tbsp olive oil divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and prepare a baking tray.
- Toss chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange chicken and vegetables on the tray, keeping pieces in a single layer for even cooking.
- Roast until the chicken is juicy and vegetables are tender with lightly crisp edges.
- Divide rice among containers and top with chicken and vegetables while maintaining balanced portions.
- Cool completely before sealing containers and refrigerating or freezing.
Notes
Roast a little less for softer vegetables or longer for crispier edges. Freeze cooled portions in airtight containers for up to three months. Let ingredients cool before assembly to avoid excess moisture. Customize flavors with sauces, spices, or different vegetables. Store refrigerated meals for up to four days.
