Ingredients

Scale

Base Meal Prep Chicken (for 4 servings):

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Optional: juice of 1 lemon or 2 tbsp soy sauce for added flavor


Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven
    Heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil.

  2. Season the Chicken
    Pat the chicken dry. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  3. Bake
    Place chicken on the baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until internal temp hits 165°F (74°C).

  4. Rest and Slice
    Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. Slice or cube as needed.

  5. Store
    Divide chicken into airtight containers. Add your choice of rice, quinoa, veggies, or salad greens.

Notes

Switch up spices weekly (try taco, lemon pepper, or curry seasoning).

Great with roasted veggies, stir-fried greens, or whole grains.

Keeps in fridge for 4 days. Freeze up to 3 months.

Reheat with a splash of broth to keep it moist.
