Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice
  • 1/2 medium red onion, sliced

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed chicken, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Toss to coat evenly.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a separate pan over medium heat, sauté the broccoli florets and sliced red onion with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 6 to 8 minutes until tender-crisp.
  • Prepare four meal prep containers. Portion 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice into each container.
  • Divide the cooked lemon garlic chicken and the sautéed vegetables equally among the four containers.
  • Allow the meals to cool slightly before sealing and refrigerating for up to 4 days.
