Chicken Satay Meal Prep Bowl

The best thing about this beast bowl is the peanut sauce. You will literally want to just eat this sauce right out of the bowl – the salty, gingery, garlicy-ness of this peanut sauce is SO good. When you smother it on the marinated grilled chicken, the flavor combo is undeniably fantastic.

The Chicken Satay Beast Bowl is an awesome meal prep go-to.

One of my secrets for easy meal prep is always having a few bags of frozen chicken tenderloins around. They usually come in two-pound bags. Two pounds of protein is generally good for about eight meals.

When I do my meal prep for the week I like to pick two different styles of Beast Bowls. That way I have a little variety. I have several different ways that I marinate the meat depending on what I am in the mood for. Once marinated, I simply bake it, or grill it. Because these tenderloins are all pretty similar in size, using this approach you can get two different styles of chicken cooked at the same time. So easy, right?

Chicken satay is a super easy to prepare – just throw all the marinade ingredients in a zip-lock bag, toss the chicken in and let it sit. Your chicken still frozen? No problem! A shortcut that I use all the time is to toss frozen chicken directly into the marinade. If you do this, make sure to omit any extra water called for in the marinade recipe.

I can usually meal prep a week’s worth of meals in about 2 hours.

1. Start by picking two beast bowls. Then plan your proteins. You can easily grill a batch of chicken satay and greek burgers at the same time or one after the other.
2. Prep your sauces or dressings and store them in the fridge. Homemade is best, but if you don’t have the desire to make the particular sauce from scratch just find a healthy substitute. There are many brands on the market today that are leaving out the added sugar and opting for healthier real-food ingredients.
3. Chop and store enough veggies to have on hand to fill up your beast bowls. There some basic veggies that I eat in almost every single beast bowl. You will find your favorite few greens. Maybe you like springs green, or you love a good red leaf lettuce. Find yourself a few basics and keep going back to the ones that work for you.
