Steps

1. 1

   Slice the 1000g raw chicken breast into even cubes.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, combine the chicken cubes with 1.5 tsp salt, 2 tsp dried parsley, 2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, 2 tsp smoked paprika, 1.5 tsp cumin, 3 tsp olive oil, and the juice of 1/2 to 1 lime.

3. 3

   Mix the chicken and seasonings thoroughly until every piece is coated. Let the chicken marinate for at least 20 minutes to enhance the flavor.

4. 4

   Heat a large pan over medium heat and add 25g light butter. Once melted, add the chicken and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden and sizzling.

5. 5

   Lower the heat and add 2 tsp minced garlic and 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix until the chicken is fully coated and fragrant.

6. 6

   Prepare the street corn salsa by combining 400g drained sweetcorn, 60g light mayo, 100g fat-free Greek yogurt, 50g hot sauce, 50g chopped jalapeños, 2 tbsp chopped coriander, 2 tsp Tajin seasoning, juice of 1/2 lime, and 100g crumbled feta cheese in a bowl. Mix well until creamy.

7. 7

   Cook 190g basmati rice according to package instructions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in 3 tbsp finely chopped fresh coriander.

8. 8

   Assemble the meal prep bowls by dividing the coriander rice, seasoned chicken, and corn salsa into 5 equal portions.

Notes

Store the corn salsa in a separate container to make reheating the chicken and rice easier. For better flavor, do not skip the 20-minute marination time.
