Description
A delicious combination of sweet and savory flavors, this meal prep recipe features tender chicken marinated in honey garlic sauce paired with crisp broccoli.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb Chicken breast
- 4 cups Broccoli florets
- 1/4 cup Honey
- 1/4 cup Soy sauce
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1/2 tsp Pepper
Instructions
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Mince the garlic and chop the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper until well combined. This mixture will serve as a marinade.
- Add the chicken to the marinade, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator for the flavors to infuse.
- While the chicken marinates, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures a hot cooking environment that helps the chicken cook evenly.
- Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a pot or steamer. Add the broccoli florets and steam or stir-fry them until they are tender but still vibrant green, about 5-7 minutes.
- Once the chicken is baked, portion the chicken and broccoli into meal prep containers. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the top for extra flavor.
Notes
For maximum flavor, consider marinating the chicken overnight. Feel free to replace broccoli with other vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini depending on your preferences.
