Ingredients
2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 cup barbecue sauce
2 red bell peppers, diced
3 cups fresh pineapple, diced
¼ cup red onion, diced
1 lb zucchini noodles or 1 bundle fresh asparagus
6 glass meal prep containers
Instructions
Cook Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper. Sauté in a skillet over medium heat until cooked through and slightly golden, about 8–10 minutes. Add BBQ sauce and stir to coat. Simmer for 2 minutes, then set aside.
Sauté Veggies: In the same skillet, lightly sauté bell peppers and red onion for 3–4 minutes until just tender. Add pineapple and cook another 2–3 minutes until slightly caramelized.
Prep Base: Steam or sauté asparagus until tender-crisp, or quickly sauté zucchini noodles with a splash of olive oil for 2–3 minutes.
Assemble Bowls: Divide veggies and pineapple evenly into containers. Top with BBQ chicken and your choice of veggie base.
Store: Let cool before sealing with lids. Refrigerate for up to 4 days.
