What makes a good chicken and rice meal prep recipe
Chicken and rice meal prep recipes can be a bit bland and boring, but this recipe is anything but! The key to making a great chicken and rice dish is to use flavorful ingredients. We recommend using a mix of spices like chipotle sauce, chili powder, and smoked paprika to give your meal some extra flavor.
Another great ingredient to use in your chicken and rice dish is a chipotle sauce. This smoky, spicy sauce adds a lot of flavor to the dish, and it’s perfect for those who like their food with a little bit of heat. If you don’t have any chipotle sauce on hand, feel free to use another type of hot sauce, like Tabasco sauce or sriracha.

Tips for meal prepping chicken
Meal prepping chicken can be a challenge, but with these tips, it’s easy! First, make sure to cook the chicken ahead of time. You can either bake or grill the chicken, whichever you prefer. Once the chicken is cooked, let it cool down before chopping it into small pieces.
Grill or bake, your choice!
Once the chicken has cooled down, it’s time to chop it up. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and then set aside in a separate bowl until ready to use. If you don’t like cutting up raw poultry yourself, feel free to buy pre-cut chicken at the grocery store.
Chicken thighs are much juicier than chicken breasts.
When it comes to chicken, thigh meat is much more tender and flavorful than breast meat. We recommend using a mix of both in your meal prep recipes for optimal flavor. If you’re not a fan of dark meat or have any concerns about fat content, feel free to use only breast pieces instead!
What rice should you use? White vs Brown
When it comes to rice, there are two main types: white and brown. White rice is more processed than its counterpart, but it’s also tastier and easier to cook with. If you’re looking for a healthier option that still has plenty of flavors, go with brown rice! This type has fewer calories per serving than white varieties and is higher in fiber as well – making this a great choice if you’re trying to watch your waistline.
A bed of rice makes the perfect base for any meal prep recipe.
Rice makes an excellent base for many different types of recipes, including chicken and rice. It’s easy to cook with because it absorbs flavors well and can be used as a side dish or mixed into soups for added texture and flavor. If you’re looking for something lighter, try using quinoa instead!
Jasmine rice is my favorite to meal prep with. I have tried almost every type of rice.
