Description
Healthy and versatile Chicken Macro Bowls are the ultimate meal prep! Juicy and delicious chicken, fluffy rice, roasted sweet potatoes and fresh leafy greens topped with a simple homemade honey-lime dressing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons olive oil + more for drizzling potatoes
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- salt
- pepper
- 1 large pre-cooked rotisserie chicken *
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 3/4" cubes
- 2 cups prepared brown rice**
Instructions
- Honey-lime dressing. In a small bowl or jar, combine 3 tablespoons olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, 1 tablespoon honey, 1 teaspoon dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well and set aside.
- Prepare roasted sweet potatoes. Heat oven to 425 F. On a large baking sheet, toss sweet potatoes with olive oil and season liberally with salt and pepper. Roast for 25-30 minutes or until tender, tossing halfway through. Remove from oven and set aside.
- Assemble macro bowls. If serving immediately, divide the desired amount of chicken, brown rice, sweet potatoes and spinach into bowl(s). Top with honey-lime dressing. If meal prepping (or storing leftovers), place each individual component in an airtight bag or container. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To serve, reheat potatoes and/or chicken, create your bowl and then top with honey-lime dressing.
Notes
If you do not want to use a rotisserie chicken you will need 1 - 1.5 pounds of prepared chicken diced or shredded. This simple spiced balsamic marinade is my go-to when preparing chicken breasts.
Purchasing frozen brown rice in a steam-able bag is suggested. I usually cook 2 bags.
