Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Very easy and perfect for meal prep batching. I prefer soy sauce vs. coconut aminos (I know it changes the macros) but I will make this all the time!
It’s one of my favorite meal prep ones, too. So glad you liked it.
What is the fiber in a serving?
This looks great can’t wait to try! Could it work with beef instead? Would you change anything?
Such great flavor!! Definitely saving this for future meal planning! Also great macros for a great sized serving.
My life is better because of this recipe. Heck, this whole website. Thank you for making macros delicious!!!
Danielle, on the chicken is it 1 pound raw or 1 pound cooked? Thank you
Raw!
So easy. Balanced, filling, yummy and saves well. 💜
The Coconut Aminos link goes to their garlic sauce. Is this right or should it be the regular Coconut Aminos? (https://www.amazon.com/Coconut-Secret-Original-Soy-Free-Seasoning/dp/B00LWQLCJ4/)
I am using regular coconut aminos.
Sooooo good! I made it with ground chicken and leftover quinoa. Delicious. Will make again. Thank you so much!
Hi, Question about the rice. I am measuring out 2 cups uncooked rice, cooking it and then storing it overnight to use the next day? I have leftover rice in my fridge already but I’m confused about how much to use now. Am I measuring out 2 cups of my cooked rice or more?
Hi Danielle!
Your recipe says 1 T coc aminos but in the directions it looks like you use a total of 4? Just thought you would want to update. Making this week 🙂
Thank you!!
Could I do this with frozen shrimp and it be equally as delish? Trying to find a good pescatarian dish to make for my family.
Yes! I have subbed with frozen shrimp and it’s amazing! Macros with change.
This was great! My 6 year old loved it too!
This recipe was so simple and delicious! The perfect meal prep for a few nights at work.
Yay!! Thank you!
