Instructions
Creating your Teriyaki Chicken Meal Prep is straightforward when you follow these easy steps:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, and cornstarch (if using).
3. Marinate the Chicken: Pour the marinade over the chicken pieces and mix well. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes, or longer for more flavor.
4. Cook the Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Add Vegetables: Once the chicken is cooked, add the broccoli, bell pepper, and snap peas to the skillet. Stir-fry for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
6. Thicken the Sauce: If you want a thicker sauce, mix a little cornstarch with water and add it to the skillet. Cook for another minute until the sauce thickens.
7. Prepare for Meal Prep: Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly. Portion the chicken and vegetable mixture into meal prep containers.
8. Serve with Rice: Add cooked rice or quinoa to each container.
9. Garnish: Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for an added crunch and flavor.
10. Store: Let the containers cool completely before sealing and storing them in the fridge.
By following these steps, you’ll have flavorful meals ready to enjoy throughout the week.
