Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked rice or pasta base
  • 1 pound boneless chicken thighs or ground turkey
  • 2 cups chopped vegetables
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sauce or salsa

Method
 

  1. Cook the grain or pasta until tender, then spread it on a tray so steam can escape.
  2. Season the protein with salt and garlic powder, then cook until it reaches a safe temperature.
  3. Cook vegetables until tender but not mushy, keeping crisp toppings separate for serving.
  4. Divide the base, protein, and vegetables into containers while keeping sauce on the side.
  5. Reheat until steaming, then add sauce and fresh toppings before eating.
