How to Meal Prep (and Love It)

1. Plan ahead. Decide on your proteins, carbs, and veggies for the week.

2. Make a list. Write out exactly what you’ll need—then stick to it when shopping.

3. Cook in batches. Grill or bake your chicken, steam your veggies, and cook your rice.

4. Portion and store. Divide into microwave-safe containers for easy grab-and-go meals.

5. Reheat and enjoy. Pop it in the microwave when it’s mealtime, and you’re set!

💡 Pro tip: Cook extra rice and chicken—you can easily mix and match flavors later in the week to keep things fresh.

Do You Refrigerate or Freeze Meal Prep?

Both work great!

• Refrigerate if you plan to eat within 3–4 days.

• Freeze for longer storage. Simply thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

How Long Does Cooked Chicken Last in the Fridge?

Cooked chicken will stay fresh for 3–4 days when properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I use store-bought teriyaki sauce?

Yes! A quality store-bought teriyaki sauce saves time and works perfectly for this easy meal prep idea. Look for low-sodium options if watching salt intake.

Can I bake the chicken instead of grilling?

Absolutely! Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then glaze with teriyaki sauce.

How do I keep meal prep fresh all week?

Store in airtight, microwave-safe containers in the fridge for up to 3–4 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions and thaw overnight before reheating.
