Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons homemade chicken seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • 2 cups steamed green beans

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Frying Pan

Method
 

  1. Start by preparing the chicken. Take the boneless skinless chicken breasts and place them in a bowl. Season generously with the homemade chicken seasoning to ensure every bite is packed with flavor. Massage the seasoning into the chicken to help it absorb the spices well.
  2. Next, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. You want the oil to shimmer slightly, indicating it's ready. Carefully add the seasoned chicken to the pan. Sear it for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side.
  3. As the chicken cooks, keep an eye on it. You’re looking for a nice golden-brown color and an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This ensures it's perfectly cooked and safe to eat.
  4. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. This is key for juicy chicken; resting allows the juices to redistribute.
  5. While the chicken is resting, prepare the bowls. Take your meal prep containers and begin by laying down a base of about ½ cup of the cooked rice in each container.
  6. Next, slice the rested chicken into strips or bite-sized pieces. Evenly divide the chicken among the containers over the rice.
  7. Now, it’s time to add the green beans. Divide the steamed green beans among the containers, creating a colorful and nutritious meal.
  8. Seal the containers tightly. You can store them in the refrigerator for up to a few days. When you’re ready to eat, just warm in the microwave, and you’re good to go!
  9. Enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you have a delicious, healthy meal ready at your fingertips with the delightful Chicken and Rice Meal Prep Bowls.
