Chipotle Chicken, Lime Cilantro Rice and More!

Chipotle Chicken, Lime cilantro rice, with chunky salsa:

Ingredients needed:

Directions:

Thaw, clean, and trim 3lbs of chicken.
Put chicken into ziplock bag with the entire can of adobo, about 1T salt, and the juice of one lime.
Remove most of the air in the ziplock bag as you close it, then massage the marinade into the chicken for a bit. Let sit in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Make rice. (I have a rice cooker, so I just throw it in there. If you wanted more flavor use chicken stock instead of cold water). After the rice is done, add the juice of one lime, and the cilantro. Mix.
When rice is finished, cook the chicken. Grill, or pan fry. Either way, make sure you spray or oil down your baking instrument. You don’t want your chicken to stick and lose all that delicious flavor. Set chicken aside to rest after it’s done cooking. Do not cut it right away. Wait at least 10 minutes.
Weigh entire batch of rice (I know 1c cooked rice from my rice cooker is about 180g). Separate into different containers.
Weigh rested chicken, divide by # of servings. Chop into pieces and distribute into containers.
Add additional ingredients, such as salsa, cheese, guacamole, lettuce, etc.

Mac and cheese with spiced chicken breast, and broccoli:

Ingredients needed:

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375F.
Thaw, clean, and trim 3lbs of chicken.
Line one large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Put chicken on sheet and spice with: salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic. (If you’d like some more spice add chili powder, and cayenne).
Place chicken in oven for about 40 minutes, or until the internal temperature is 160F (Don’t want to cook these too much, or when you reheat them they’ll be really dry).
Make Mac and Cheese. For this recipe I subbed out basically everything the recommend in the prep. I added less than a 1/4c almond milk into the entire batch and mixed.
Weigh entire batch of Mac and Cheese, divide by # of servings, separate into individual containers.
Weigh entire batch of cooked chicken, divide by # of servings, cut, separate into individual containers.
Add in Broccoli.
Possible additions: Bacon. I was originally going to put some bacon into this recipe, but forgot. When I remembered I was too lazy.

Zoodles and turkey meatballs with spicy sweet basil pasta sauce:

Ingredients needed:

2.5lbs ground turkey
2T worcestershire sauce
2 servings of italian herb bread crumbs
4 cloves garlic (diced)
2 small yellow onions (diced)
1 green pepper (diced)
1 large egg
8 zucchinis (As straight as you can find)
2 bottles of pasta sauce of your choice. I picked Classico Spicy Sweet Basil (1 serving 50 calories)
Salt and pepper

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350F.
To a hot pan add onion, green pepper, and garlic (add oil if you’d like). Cook until onions are translucent and the garlic is aromatic. Set aside.
Once onion mixture is cooled off a bit, place large mixing bowl on kitchen scale and add ground turkey, worcestershire, egg, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly.
Divide weight of mixture by # of servings multiplied by how many you’d like to have in each serving. I wanted 5 for each serving, for 8 servings = 40 meat balls.
Form the meat balls and put them on a large baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
Bake at 350 for approximately 40 minutes (or until fully cooked).
Wash and spiralize zucchini.
Weigh entire batch of spiralized zucchini and divide by # of servings. Separate into individual containers.
Separate cooked meatballs into their containers.
Add 1 serving of pasta sauce on top of the meatballs.
Possible additions: Cheese, additional italian herbs.

Bangers and mash with broccoli:

Ingredients needed:

Directions:

Wash and chop red potato
Add potatoes to large pot with water, and boil until fully cooked. (You should be able to easily pierce a piece of potato with a fork).
Put a large bowl on a kitchen scale. Add strained potatoes to bowl with garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. (Possible additions: sour cream or cream cheese, chives / green onions, butter). Blend or mash and mix until desired consistency.
Divide weight of potatoes by # of servings. Separate into individual containers.
The sausages are already fully cooked, so we just need to brown ’em a bit. You can pan fry them, or do what I did, and grill them.
Add Sausages to containers, ensuring to mess up the order of at least one to annoy people on the internet.
Add broccoli to containers.
