Ingredients

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed into 1-inch pieces
  • 1.5 cups uncooked long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups wate r
  • 4 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and 3 cups of water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the cubed chicken with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Place broccoli florets in a steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes until tender-crisp and vibrant green.
  • Evenly distribute the cooked rice into four meal prep containers (approximately 1 cup per container).
  • Top each portion of rice with equal amounts of the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli.
  • Allow the meals to cool to room temperature before sealing with lids and refrigerating.
