Meal Prep Seared Chicken Thighs with Steamed Vegetables and Rice
20 mins prepServes 5
This recipe outlines a delicious and healthy meal prep option featuring seared chicken thighs marinated in an Asian-inspired sauce, served with steamed vegetables and rice.
1. Cube the chicken thighs.
2. Prepare the marinade: Combine soy sauce, sesame oil, minced garlic cloves, sugar free maple syrup, ginger powder, and black pepper in a bowl. Add the cubed chicken thighs to the marinade and let it sit.
3. Cook the chicken: Heat a pan and add the marinated chicken. Cook, reducing the sauce all the way, to get a nice sear on the chicken.
4. Prepare the vegetables: Chop cabbage, broccoli, and carrots.
5. Cook the vegetables: In a separate pan, heat 10g of avocado oil. Add the chopped cabbage, broccoli, and carrots, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add a splash of water to steam the vegetables until tender-crisp.
6. Serve with 200g of cooked white rice.
7. Optional cauliflower rice: If desired, cook off cauliflower rice in a pan separately to remove any unpleasant taste, then add it to your meal for more volume.
