Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cups mixed frozen vegetables

1 cup cooked quinoa

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon honey

1 teaspoon sesame oil

1 teaspoon grated ginger

1 cup shredded carrots

Directions

1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Add the chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

In a separate bowl, mix the frozen vegetables and cooked quinoa. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic and mix well.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the marinated chicken breasts in a single layer. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through.

In a separate pan, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and cook until they’re tender, about 3-5 minutes.

5

To assemble the bowls, place a portion of cooked quinoa, roasted chicken breast, and steamed mixed vegetables in each bowl. Drizzle with the remaining marinade and sprinkle with shredded carrots.

Storage & Reheating

Store the assembled meal prep bowls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until the chicken and vegetables are warm and the quinoa is reheated.
