Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 200 g baby potatoes
  • 150 g broccoli florets
  • 1 cup jasmine or basmati rice
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • tsp garlic powder
  • tsp paprika
  • Salt & pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil (for vegetables)
  • Salt, pepper & a pinch of paprika
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped or frozen herbs

Instructions

  1. Cook the rice: Rinse rice under cold water. In a pot, combine rinsed rice with 2 cups of salted water, bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it rest covered for another 5 minutes before fluffing with fork and mixing in parsley.
  2. Boil the potatoes: In a small pot filled with salted boiling water, cook halved baby potatoes for about 10 minutes until tender. Drain and set aside.
  3. Cook the chicken: Season chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown. Slice into strips.
  4. Sauté the vegetables: In the same skillet (adding more oil if needed), sauté diced onion and sliced mushrooms for about 3 minutes until softened. Add boiled potatoes and broccoli; season with salt and pepper before cooking together for another 6-8 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Assemble your bowls: Divide herb rice between meal prep containers or bowls; top with sliced chicken and sautéed vegetables.
