Teriyaki Chicken Meal Prep (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Teriyaki Marinade

01 - 120ml soy sauce
02 - 80ml pineapple juice
03 - 3 tablespoons honey
04 - 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
05 - 1 teaspoon sesame oil
06 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
07 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced

→ Chicken

08 - 4 boneless chicken breasts
09 - Sesame seeds for garnish

→ Vegetables

10 - 1 head broccoli
11 - 1 red bell pepper
12 - 1/2 medium white onion
13 - 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil or butter

# Instructions:

01 - Combine soy sauce, pineapple juice, honey, rice wine vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Whisk constantly for about 5 minutes until sauce thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
02 - Trim excess fat from chicken breasts and place in a glass container with lid or sealable bag. Once marinade has cooled, pour over chicken, seal, and refrigerate. Marinate for 1-24 hours (longer marination intensifies flavor).
03 - Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F). Remove chicken from marinade and place on non-stick baking sheet or baking dish. Bake for 20-25 minutes until internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F). For enhanced browning, broil for 3-5 minutes. Allow to cool 10-15 minutes before slicing thinly.
04 - Remove broccoli stalk and cut into florets. Add 5cm (2 inches) of water to a pot, add broccoli, and cover with lid. Bring water to boil and steam for 1-2 minutes. Remove broccoli from pot and set aside.
05 - Core and slice bell pepper into strips. Slice onion. Heat 1/2 tablespoon oil or butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Sauté peppers and onions for 3-4 minutes until slightly softened.
06 - Distribute sliced chicken among four meal prep containers. Garnish with sesame seeds if desired. Arrange broccoli, peppers, and onions alongside chicken. Allow all components to cool completely before sealing containers and refrigerating.

# Notes:

01 - Meal prep containers can be refrigerated for up to 4 days.
02 - For best results, reheat chicken and vegetables separately before serving.
03 - Serve with steamed rice or cauliflower rice for a complete meal.
