Description

This collection of protein bowl recipes offers flavorful, nutrient-packed meals perfect for meal prep lunches and easy dinners.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breast, cubed
  • Or chickpeas for vegan options
  • 4 cups veggies of choice (e.g., bell peppers, onions, corn, carrots, tomatoes)
  • 2 cups cooked rice or quinoa
  • 1/4 to 1/2 cup sauce (such as teriyaki, chili lime, BBQ, chimichurri, hot honey)
  • Fresh herbs, avocado slices, shredded cheese, sour cream, or any desired toppings

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and fully cooked through.
  2. Once the chicken is nearly done, add the freshly chopped vegetables to the skillet. Sauté with the chicken until the veggies are tender but still crisp, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour your chosen sauce (teriyaki, chili lime, BBQ, etc.) into the skillet with the chicken and vegetables. Stir to coat everything evenly and cook together for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Spoon cooked rice or quinoa into serving bowls. Top with the chicken and vegetable mixture. Add any additional toppings you like such as fresh herbs, avocado, or cheese.
  5. These bowls can be prepared in advance and stored in airtight containers for convenient grab-and-go meals throughout the week.
