A quick and simple meal prep recipe featuring juicy teriyaki chicken and tender-crisp broccoli, perfect for busy weeknights or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (organic or free-range preferred)
  • 16 ounces frozen broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce (about 120 ml)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (about 30 ml)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Slice into strips or cubes if desired. Allow 5 minutes.
  2. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Wait about 1 minute until shimmering but not smoking.
  3. Add the chicken breasts or pieces to the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden crust forms. Flip and cook another 5 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Stir occasionally if chicken is sliced. Total cooking time: 10-12 minutes.
  4. Pour 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce over the chicken in the skillet. Stir to coat well and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens and becomes sticky.
  5. While chicken cooks, steam 16 ounces of frozen broccoli until bright green and tender-crisp, about 4-5 minutes, using a steamer basket or microwave with a splash of water and cover.
  6. Divide the chicken and broccoli evenly into 4 meal prep containers. Optionally add cooked rice or noodles as a base. Let cool for 10 minutes before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

Pat chicken dry for better browning. Avoid overcrowding the pan to prevent steaming. Use medium-high heat to avoid burning the sauce. Steam broccoli until tender-crisp to retain crunch. Let chicken rest before slicing. For gluten-free, use tamari or gluten-free teriyaki sauce. Can substitute chicken thighs or tofu for variations.
