Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken:
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
For the Sauce:
- 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup pure honey
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
For Serving:
- 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
- 2 cups mixed vegetables (bell peppers, broccoli, snap peas)
Instructions
- 1. Prepare Your Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season generously with salt and pepper.
- 2. Mix Up That Sauce: In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and minced garlic until well combined.
- 3. Bake That Chicken: Place seasoned chicken breasts in a baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over them. Bake for about 25 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
- 4. Cook Your Grains: While the chicken bakes, prepare your rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
- 5. Sauté Those Veggies: In a pan over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil and toss in your chosen mixed vegetables. Sauté for about five minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
- 6. Assemble Your Bowls: Once everything is cooked, slice the chicken and layer your meal prep bowls starting with rice or quinoa, followed by vegetables and sliced chicken. Drizzle more sauce if desired.
