For some reason this recipe didn't come out that well for me. I think my brown rice came out too mushy. My boneless chicken pieces were 2-3" thick so I had to finish cooking them for 20 minutes @ 400 degrees in the oven after cooking them on top of the stove.

I love this meal prep!!! It's so delicious I use it as a meal as well . Thank you
Love these meal prep meal recipes. This is what I use every time, simple easy and tasty 😋
I watch these vids cuz they satisfy me
Why carbs at the end
Who knows a good Macro count for this?
Hey !
please don't hate on me for this: I uploaded my first "what I eat in a day as a vegetarian/mostly vegan teen" video yesterday. It'd mean a lot to me if u guys checked it out ^^
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED thank you!
Just made this! I LOVEEEEE IT! So yummy and easy to make! The only thing I did differently was add the salsa on the chicken once it was sliced up in my bowls instead of baking it on top of the chicken. Also I did no cheese since I’m lactose! Will be doing this one again
Macros?
I fucking love rice
So satisfying
Oooohhh yes!
Wow, that looks fucking mediocre.
do u guys microwave it or some kind of magic?
I love this. Straight to the point. Plz do more meal preps. Thx
How are these if you freeze them?
This came out great! Got 8 meals for me and my girl for about $25. Eating better and spending less.
How many calories are in this?
And what are healthier substitutes for some of the ingredients?
