Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (217°C).

Step 2

Into a large bowl, add the Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder and lemon juice, as well as 1 tsp of salt. Mix to combine.

Step 3

Add in the chicken thighs and coat all of the cracks and crevices of the chicken with the yogurt marinade.

Step 4

Line a sheet pan with foil and lay the chicken thighs smooth side down on the sheet pan, ensuring enough space between each thigh to promote proper browning.

Step 5

Roast the chicken for 10-12 minutes.

Step 6

After 10-12 minutes, turn the oven to broil and place the sheet pan on the top rack, under the broiler if it is not already there. Watch the chicken closely as it will be prone to burning.

Step 7

Broil the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side until you are happy with the level of browning on the chicken.

Step 8

Once finished, remove from the oven and allow it to rest before cutting into a large dice.

Step 9

Cook enough rice to yield 3 cups (450g) of cooked rice. 1 cup of dry rice will make between 2-3 cups of rice depending on what kind you use.

Step 10

Wash and cut all of your vegetables to prepare for cooking. Cut the peppers and the onion into a medium dice.

Step 11

Mince some garlic until you have 1 tbsp worth.

Step 12

For the cabbage I use the preshredded stuff in the bag. If you buy a head of cabbage, shred it into thin slices.

Step 13

For the chile, you can use a jalapeño, serrano, or a red chile if you decide to use one. It is not necessary for this recipe but if you would like a bit more heat, cut one into a small dice and add it to the vegetables.

Step 14

I like to top each dish with cilantro and fresh tomatoes. This is optional. If you decide to do this, roughly chop the cilantro into small pieces and cut the tomato into a medium dice, removing the seeds first from the center.

Step 15

In a large skillet over medium heat, add about 1 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot, add in the onion powder and chili powder and allow the spices to bloom for about 30 seconds.

Step 16

Add in the remaining 1 tbsp of oil if needed and dump in your onions and peppers. Season lightly with salt and mix the spices into the vegetables.

Step 17

Cook the vegetables for about 3-5 minutes and then add in the shredded cabbage and garlic. Mix to combine and cook for about 1-2 minutes.

Step 18

Add in the tomato sauce and stir into the vegetables. Allow this to cook for 3-5 minutes and cook out the raw tomato flavor.

Step 19

Add in 3 cups (450g) of cooked rice, all of the diced chicken, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.

Step 20

This recipe makes 5 servings. Divide the contents of the pan evenly between 5 meal prep containers.
