This 25-minute meal prep will help you make delicious lunch boxes for the week quickly and easily. Filled with chicken breast, flavorful rice, and broccoli, these easy healthy meal prep bowls will be your new favorite lunch!
If you’re anything like me, you love the idea of meal prep, but when it comes to figuring out meal prep ideas, sometimes you feel a bit stumped. That’s why I’m obsessed with flavor combinations like the ones in this chicken and rice recipe – everything tastes incredible, but it really only takes a few minutes to prepare.
The reason this recipe is so easy is because I decided to rely on two of my favorite seasoning blends from Tony Chachere’s. Their seasonings are truly amazing on everything, but they really bring the chicken to life in this dish (plus it’s so tasty with their rice)!
One Pot Lemon Herb Chicken And Rice
There’s a little bit of multitasking with this meal prep, but since there’s so little hands-on time, it doesn’t feel like much work.
You’ll start by preparing the marinade with the seasoning and Greek yogurt (if you like a little sweet with your spicy, I’d recommend adding in just a bit of honey). I like to marinate the chicken for half an hour in the fridge, but that’s completely optional. Bake the chicken at a high temperature to lock in the juices and get it cooked quickly.
Once you have the rice and chicken cooking, steam the broccoli for a couple of minutes, or until you’re just barely able to pierce it with a fork.

I like to double the marinade and then save half for sauce containers to eat with at lunch. One quick note on that though, the sauce gets spicier the longer it sits, so if you’re sensitive to spice, you may want to make it separately from the marinade using only 1 Tablespoon of Tony Chachere’s No Salt Seasoning Blend.
If you’d like a different flavor for the sauce, I’d recommend either my Quesadilla Sauce recipe or my Cilantro Lime Sauce recipe. Either would pair perfectly here!
Cooked chicken and cooked rice should both last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days, which is why this meal prep for the week only includes 4 portions. As you’re nearing the end of the days, always be sure to check the chicken for any odd colors or odors.
Chicken Fried Rice {better Than Take Out!}
To reheat this meal prep, sprinkle a few drops of water on the rice and then microwave it for 1 – 2 minutes (or until the rice is steaming).
This meal prep couldn’t be simpler to prepare, and it only used a few common kitchen tools. All you’ll need is a good baking sheet, a lidded pot, and a steamer basket.
To reheat, sprinkle the rice with water. Be sure to break the rice up a bit with a fork if it’s stuck together. Cover with a microwavable lid (or a damp paper towel), and microwave on high for 1 - 2 minutes (or until heated through).

To cook the chicken in an air fryer, preheat the air fryer to 400 F for 3 minutes. Place the two chicken breasts in the air fryer basket (without them touching each other), and cook on 400 F for 10 minutes. Flip, and cook for an additional 10 minutes (or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165 F). Allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
If you use a Greek yogurt with a lower percentage of fat, you may need to adjust the spice. The fat balances out the heat and it could be too spicy if you use a low-fat variety.
