Spice up your meal prep routine with these healthy veggie-packed chicken fried rice meal prep bowls. They come together in under 30 minutes in just one pan and are full of flavor!
Fried rice was my favorite Chinese dish growing up and now as an adult, it’s still one of my top 3 picks. Today we’re making a healthier version of this classic by using brown rice and adding lots of veggies and chicken for a protein-packed lunch that will keep you going all week long!
To being, you will need cooked rice. We like to use brown rice but white rice or quinoa will also work. If you are on a low carb or keto diet, consider using cauliflower fried rice. For the veggies, frozen carrots, and peas work perfectly for this dish.
The next step is to simple stir-fry the chicken and veggies until cooked through and tender and then add the cooked rice and soy sauce. Serve warm or divide into meal prep containers and drizzle with sriracha for a spicy kick. Enjoy for up to 4 days in the fridge or freeze for up to 2 months!
