Yesterday I successfully completed my first meal prep! I have been telling myself I need to meal prep for about a week now, and I finally made myself buckle down and do it! I made two separate meals which gives me enough food to have lunch and dinner for a whole week! I should have been doing this a while ago because a total of ten meals cost me $33.00! That is less than $4.00 a meal, who knew!
Chicken Burrito Bowls
I saw this recipe on one of the Facebook videos and it looked amazing! It was really simple and I actually liked all of the ingredients, so I had to try! The recipe is:
INGREDIENTS:
2-3 Boneless skinless chicken breasts
3 Bell Peppers, any color, sliced
1 Large red onion, sliced
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon Taco Seasoning
Salt and Pepper
1 Jar salsa
3 Cups cooked brown rice, divided
1 Can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 Can corn
1 Cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 Lime, sliced into wedges
PREPARATION:
- Preheat oven to 400 Degrees
- Line a baking sheet with foil
- Place the chicken, peppers, and onions onto the baking sheet and drizzle with oi.
- Sprinkle the taco seasoning evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
- Salt and pepper the peppers and onions, tossing to coat.
- Top each chicken breast with a generous poor of salsa.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Rest chicken for 10 minutes before slicing into strips.
- Add a base of brown rise to 4 food storage containers. Top each with a scoop of black beans, corn, additional salsa, cheddar cheese, cooked peppers and onions, and sliced chicken. Garnish with a lime wedge.
- Store in the refrigerator (and enjoy any extras immediately). Can be kept refrigerated for up to 4 days.
- Meal-prep FTW! Enjoy!
Trust me, it’s easy and delicious!!!
