Instructions
- Slice thawed chicken into small cubes. Place into a large bowl and add 1 Tbs Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 tsp Garlic, 2 tsp Lemon Juice, 1 tsp Thyme, 1 tsp Dijon Mustard, 1 tsp Salt, ¼ cup Chicken Broth. Let the chicken marinate for 20 minutes.

Cover with a lid, leaving a small opening to vent. Cook for 9 minutes in the microwave. Once finished let it rest for 5 minutes with the lid on before fluffing with a fork.
- Spray cooking spray onto a skillet and turn the heat to medium high heat. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on one side, then after the first 4 minutes, turn the pieces of chicken over to the other side to cook for an additional 4 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken is 165° when done cooking.
- Place Steamfresh steamable green beans into the microwave and cook according to the package directions. Season with a little salt and pepper to taste.
- Once everything is cooked, place 5 meal prep containers on the counter. Put equal parts chicken, rice, and green beans into each container. Make sure the lid is on tight. *Optional: Add a small container of 1 Tbs sliced cucumber and 1 Tbs Feta Cheese to each meal prep.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. When you’re ready to eat your meal prep each day, remove the small container of cucumber and feta cheese, then heat for 60 seconds in the microwave. Add the feta and cucumber over the top and enjoy!
Notes
You can put the small cucumber slices and feta cheese into separate small containers or a small Ziploc bag. Remove them from the meal prep container before reheating, and add to the top of the meal once it is hot.
If you are needing more calories you can add a Greek Pita to your Meal prep. Place in a Ziploc bag for easy grab and go. Once you heat up your meal you can place all the contents into the pita and enjoy!
