Chicken Meal Prep Ingredients
- Boneless Chicken Thighs: You could also use 4 chicken breasts instead of 8 chicken thighs if you’d like.

- Honey: You could use maple syrup or any other kind of sticky sweetener if you’d like.
- Garlic Powder: Or fresh garlic. Use 2-4 cloves.
- Sesame Oil: Again, may be replaced if you are allergic or simply don’t enjoy the taste. Any type of oil will do.
How to Make this Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs Meal Prep

Tips and Suggestions

- Remove the lime wedges before microwaving.

Recipe Notes
You may use a different amount of rice, depending on your appetite or macros/goal.
Oh my! This recipe is fantastic! Super easy and delicious. My two favorite things!
Since you place the salad in the same bowl as the chicken are these made to be eaten cold?
I didn’t try the salad but the chicken turned out perfectly and it was so easy to make! Thank you!
This looks good but is the coleslaw meant to be heated too?
This recipe is so good! I was wondering if there was a way to get the calorie count of each individual aspect of the bowl instead of as a whole?
Hi am I reading it right that it would be 2 TABLEspoons of garlic powder if you’re using that instead of minced garlic? Seems like an awful lot when 1/4 tsp is roughly 1 clove and the recipe otherwise calls for 2-4 cloves….
