Recipe Notes
Honey Chicken Meal Prep Storage Instructions
To store the meal prep, place the airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3 days (I said 5 in the video, but 3 days are best) and in the freezer for up to 4 months. These are best stored in the freezer straight away if you know you won’t be able to eat them all fresh. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Honey Chicken Meal Prep Reheating Instructions
To reheat, place in the microwave for a quick and easy reheating method. Alternatively, the rice, chicken and broccoli can be separated and heated in pans or pots if you don’t want to put them in the microwave. To do so, place the pots and pans over medium heat and gently heat until hot, mixing regularly.

It’s been hard to find Sriracha at the store. Is there a replacement hot sauce you recommend?
You can use pretty much any hot sauce, just use one of your favourites.

I’m obcessed with this recipe, first ever meal prep I’ve attempted and I never cook and I cannot believe that I managed to cook something that tasted so good! All ingredients were easy to find and nutrition guide posted meant I could easily add to nutracheck. Will be making again soon!

This was great. Also did the breakfast egg/potato/Pepper/”sausage” (I subbed out lean ground chicken with sausage seasoning) meal prep. Really easy to put together, no obscure ingredients, really appreciate it. Also thanks for introducing me to siracha mayo!
Fantastic to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you 🙏
This is delicious! Easy enough to throw together for a quick dinner and tasty enough to eat for a week straight. Definitely adding this to my dinner rotation.
Glad you enjoyed it, Catherine. Thank you.
How do I make sure I put the right amount of serving size in the container? If I’m making 5 servings how do I make sure I’m getting 700 calories in a container?
Hey David. The best way to calculate efficiently is to weigh everything as a whole and divide by five between the containers.
