Description
A vibrant and healthy meal prep option featuring tender chicken, sweet mango, and nutrient-rich vegetables.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 ripe mangoes, diced
- 1 cup brown rice or quinoa
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Juice of 1 lime
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by cooking the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. This will serve as a hearty base for your meal prep bowls. Once cooked, fluff and set aside to cool slightly.
- Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, and pepper to enhance the flavor. Grill or sauté the chicken over medium-high heat until it’s fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes on each side. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked rice or quinoa with the diced mangoes, bell pepper, black beans, and chopped cilantro for a refreshing meal.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, then toss everything together gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Divide the sliced chicken and the mango mixture into meal prep containers, ensuring each serving has a balance of protein and veggies.
Notes
Store prepared meal bowls in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.
