Honey garlic chicken is a nutritious and flavorful protein choice. Honey is a great natural sweetener option that can provide different health benefits, like boosting the immune system. Garlic is also known for its immune-boosting properties, as well as its ability to lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure. These health benefits combined with the protein content in chicken make honey garlic chicken a healthy and filling choice.
Edamame and rice also have a variety of health benefits. Edamame is a soybean that is high in fiber, protein, and other essential nutrients such as folate and vitamin K.

Instructions
- Add 2 cups minute rice and 2 cups water to a microwave safe bowl, cover with lid, leaving a small side open for venting. Cook for 9 minutes. Once finished let it rest for 5 minutes before you fluff with a fork, sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt and pepper to taste.

After the first 4 minutes, turn the pieces of chicken over to the other side to cook for an additional 4 minutes, pouring the sauce mixture over the chicken to cook the last few minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is 165° when done cooking.
- Place steamable soybeans into the microwave and cook according to the package directions. If they are still shelled, after cooking and cooling, remove the soybeans from the pods and place in a bowl. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Once everything is cooked, place 5 meal prep containers on the counter. Put equal parts rice, soybeans, and honey garlic chicken into each container. Sprinkle on a dash of sesame seeds and make sure the lid is on tight.
