American High Protein Meal Prep for a Healthy Week Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken breast, diced
• 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup broccoli florets
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 avocado, sliced (for serving)
• 1 lime, cut into wedges (for serving)
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
• 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
3. Spread the seasoned chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until fully cooked.
4. While the chicken is roasting, cook the quinoa according to package instructions. Typically, combine 1 cup quinoa with 2 cups water in a saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
5. In the last 5 minutes of cooking quinoa, add the broccoli florets and red bell pepper to steam them.
6. Once the chicken is cooked and the quinoa is fluffy, assemble your meal prep containers with quinoa and veggies on the bottom, topped with the roasted chicken and black beans.
