Sesame Ginger Chicken Meal Prep Bowls

Paleo, Whole30, GF, DF

Do you meal prep? I don’t very often but when I make a dish like this one, it makes me want to do it more. I don’t like eating the same boring soggy vegetables over and over again, I don’t think anybody does. These sesame ginger chicken meal prep bowls show you how to do it up right! Crunchy veggies, flavorful chicken, fluffy cauliflower rice, yes please!

I used Primal Kitchen Sesame Ginger dressing/marinade for this recipe (because it’s amazing) but you can make your own marinade at home too.

To Make Your Own Marinade:

• Combine 1/4 cup Sesame Oil
• 2 Tbls grated ginger
• 1 Tbls grated garlic,
• Juice of 1/2 an orange
• 2 Tbls Coconut Aminos in a bowl

You can grill the chicken, but we live in an apartment so my favorite way to cook meat is in my cast iron skillet . It still gives you that caramelized flavor because it retains heat so well. When you take out the chicken, you can cook the cauliflower rice in the same pan to use up all those delicious flavors. You can also switch it up by using brown or white rice.
