Lazy Gal Meal Prep

Check out this easy, delicious meal prep that cuts out a lot of cooking time. The main secret: buy a whole roasted chicken from your local grocer instead of cooking the chicken yourself. None of this is measured exactly because, who has time to measure?

Ingredients:

  • One roasted, seasoned chicken from your local grocer
  • 4-5 sweet peppers (green, yellow, red, orange)
  • Large handful of fresh cut green beans
  • Your favorite seasonings (I do a lot of garlic and pepper)
  • Olive oil
  • Rice (proportion your desired amount)
  • Optional: pineapple (canned or fresh)

Steps:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
  2. Toss your chopped peppers and green beans in a large bowl with olive oil and your choices of seasoning
  3. Once oven is ready, cook vegetables for about 15 minutes. Then broil for a roasted finish for additional 5-7 minutes
  4. While vegetables are cooking, begin preparing the rice. Season with salt and butter.
  5. Once vegetables and rice are complete, combine desired amounts into a bowl and add chicken. If you want to add pineapple you can either just add it to the finished product or cook it in the oven with the vegetables.
  6. Add your choice of sauce: plum sauce, hot sauce, soy sauce, etc.
  7. Portion out your leftovers to eat for lunch during the week (you can use a mason jar or Tupperware)
  8. Enjoy!
