When your week gets hectic, having a healthy meal ready to go in the fridge is a lifesaver. This simple chicken bowl is one of my favorite go to recipes because it is fresh, filling, and keeps perfectly in the fridge for a few days.

My biggest tip is to cook your grains and veggies on Sunday evening so you can just grab and go during the busy work week. It saves so much time and keeps you from ordering takeout when you are tired.

🧺 Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts, sliced into strips
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 cups cooked quinoa or brown rice
2 cups broccoli florets
1 sliced bell pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2
Toss the chicken strips with one tablespoon of olive oil, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper on a large sheet pan.
3
Add the broccoli and bell peppers to the pan and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
4
Bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
5
Divide the cooked grains into four meal prep containers.
6
Top each container with the baked chicken and roasted vegetables.
7
Place a lemon wedge in each container and store in the fridge until you are ready to eat.

💡 Tips

Store these bowls in airtight containers for up to four days in the refrigerator. If you like a little extra flavor, drizzle a bit of balsamic glaze or your favorite dressing over the top right before serving.
