Description
Delicious and nutritious meal prep bowls featuring marinated chicken breast, quinoa, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes, perfect for busy days.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups cooked quinoa
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
Instructions
- Combine the olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Stir well, then add the chicken, ensuring it’s fully coated in the marinade. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked through.
- Steam the broccoli florets until tender but still bright green, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
- Layer in meal prep containers: start with quinoa, add broccoli, cherry tomatoes, and top with sliced chicken.
- Drizzle any remaining marinade over the top before sealing the containers.
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Notes
For best flavor, marinate chicken longer than 30 minutes. Use fresh garlic for more robust flavor.
