After the whirlwind of the holidays and lots of traveling, I’m finally back in LA and honestly so happy to be home. There’s something about getting back into my routine that feels grounding, and for me that ALWAYS starts in the kitchen.

That said, I haven’t been feeling my usual full-on ingredient prep lately, so this week I leaned into one solid meal that I could grab when I’m busy, tired, or just not in the mood to cook. This is your reminder that meal prep doesn’t have to look the same every week. Make it work for you and how you’re feeling. Switching things up keeps it sustainable, and at the end of the day, having just something prepped can make such a difference in making sure you’re getting a balanced meal (or even a hearty snack) when you need it most.

These Honey Lime Chicken Bowls are flavorful, cozy, and bright all at once. It’s the kind of meal you’ll actually look forward to eating all week. Grab the full recipe below and don’t forget to make sure you’re stocked on meal prep containers before cooking!! These are my favorite.

Honey Lime Chicken Bowls

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 1 cup jasmine rice
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 frozen garlic cube (or 1 clove garlic, minced)
• 1 lb thin sliced chicken breast
• 2 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 lime, juiced
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil

For the Slaw:

• 2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 cup purple cabbage, thinly sliced
• 2 medium carrots, peeled
• 1/2 purple onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp white vinegar or apple cider vinegar
• 1 lime, juiced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Cook rice according to package directions but replace the water with coconut milk and add the garlic cube while cooking.
2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice and honey. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat olive oil in a pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook 3-5 minutes each side until fully cooked through. Remove from pan to rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
4. In a separate large bowl, combine the slaw ingredients. Toss to combine.
5. Evenly distribute the rice, slaw and chicken into four individual meal prep containers. Store in the fridge for an easy re-heat lunch or dinner!
