Ingredients:
- ½ lb Chicken Breast
- Barbeque Sauce (or your favorite BBQ sauce)
- 1 cup Roasted Sweet Potato
- 1 cup Roasted Brussels Sprouts
- ¼ Lime for that extra zing
Instructions:
- Prep the Chicken:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F.
- If not already done, slice the chicken breast into even pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Generously coat the chicken with Bro Beans Barbeque Sauce, making sure each piece is well-covered for maximum flavor.
- Roast the Vegetables:
- While your oven is heating, prepare the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts if they aren't pre-roasted. If you're using Melissa's pre-roasted options, you're ahead of the game!
- Spread the sweet potatoes and Brussels sprouts on a baking sheet, and give them a quick drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- Place the vegetables in the oven and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are caramelized and tender.
- Bake the Chicken:
- Arrange the seasoned chicken breasts on a separate baking tray lined with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes alongside the vegetables, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and juicy.
- Assemble the Meal Prep Containers:
- Divide the roasted Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes equally among your meal prep containers.
- Add the cooked BBQ chicken next to the veggies.
- Squeeze a quarter of a lime over each container for an added burst of freshness and flavor.
- Storage:
- Seal the containers and refrigerate. These meal prep boxes will keep well for up to 4-5 days.
