How To Meal Prep Chicken

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, add the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, lime juice, ground cumin, sea salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and fresh cilantro. Toss this all together to coat evenly. Then, top with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to marinate. (You could also place everything in a large sealable bag if you'd prefer.)

Step 2

While the chicken is marinating, start on the sweet potatoes by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F and lining a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes, coconut oil, raw honey, sea salt, and ground cinnamon and toss to coat evenly.

Step 4

Spread the sweet potatoes out evenly over the prepared baking sheet and, when the oven is preheated, place into the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 5

To make our easy sautéed broccoli, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet.

Step 6

Once hot, add raw broccoli florets, followed by sea salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss to coat.

Step 7

Cover the pan and cook 6-8 minutes, tossing regularly until the broccoli is almost tender and is bright green. (You can add a little low sodium chicken broth or water to help it along if you’d like.)

Step 8

To cook the chicken, heat olive oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet and then transfer the cilantro lime marinated chicken into the hot pan, spaced evenly.

Step 9

Cook 4-6 minutes per side, until well browned and fully cooked.

Step 10

Remove from the heat and dice into cubes.

Step 11

To assemble, I recommend using meal prep containers.  Start by adding the diced chicken, followed by the sautéed broccoli, and then the sweet potatoes. Top everything off with a wedge of lime and you’re good to go.
