[ RECIPE ] #MealPrep – The Chicken Breast Option

20/02/2017 by Adam Leave a Comment

For this meal prep recipe I’ve teamed up with MuscleFood and their chicken breasts in particular as they’re pretty large for even one breast which is usually enough for me. Plus when they’re cooked they don’t shrink as often as other chicken breasts do due to the water content of them. 

The important thing to always consider when completing this recipe is the importance of being organised. When you’re seasoning the chicken or placing the various vegetables into each container it’s almost like it’s one long conveyor belt and you’re repeating the same process 3 or 4 times. 

My suggestion would be to make 4 of these meals as although they’re full of flavour, they can get a little boring after the 4th day eating the same thing over again! 

Meal prep is amazing though. It will save you so much time at the end of each day (or early in the morning) as you won’t need to think about what you’re going to have for lunch whilst remembering to take out and defrost chicken the night before. 

I love this recipe, it’s full of protein from the chicken as well as plenty of veggies to keep you fuller for longer. Enjoy!

Ingredients
  • MuscleFood's Chicken Breasts (1-2 per serving)
  • Salt & Freshly Ground Pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cumin + Paprika (per serving)
  • Olive Oil
  • 5 Cherry Tomatoes (per serving)
  • 40g Sweetcorn (per serving)
  • 50g Couscous (per serving)
  • ¼ Juice of 1 Lemon
  • Handful of Baby Spinach (per serving)
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220C for conventional (200C fan-assisted).
  2. Place each chicken breast onto enough kitchen foil for it to be wrapped up.
  3. Season the chicken with some salt & pepper, as well as the ground cumin and paprika on each side.
  4. Top with some olive oil then cover the chicken breasts with the foil to make a parcel for each.
  5. Place into the pre-heated oven for 23-25 minutes or until cooked through.
  6. Meanwhile in a separate small oven tray add the cherry tomatoes and season with some salt and olive oil. Shake the tray so that all the tomatoes are fully coated.
  7. After 10 minutes of cooking the chicken add the small tray of tomatoes to the oven and cook for the remaining time.
  8. Cook for the sweetcorn according to packet instructions then set-aside.
  9. Pour the couscous into a large enough bowl and add enough boiling water to fully cover the couscous. Add the lemon juice and a good amount of seasoning then cover with a tea towel for 5 minutes or so.
  10. Add the spinach to each container as well as the chicken once cooked. Top with the cherry tomatoes, couscous and sweetcorn.
  11. Leave to cool for an hour or so before placing in the fridge.
