Also known as Chicken Provencal. Herbes de Provence is a classic blend of flavors that originates from the Provence region of France - famous for its fragrant lavender fields.
This Herbes de Provence Beast Bowl is a fantastic and easy way to liven up your weekly food prep routine.[/caption]
Herbes de Provence seasoning blend is made up of a mixture of thyme, tarragon, sage, marjoram, savory, and lavender.
It's usually available in most grocery stores. However,
I'm a big fan of homemade herb mixes, and I have an herb garden, so I like to make my own when I can.
This recipe makes about 4 ounces of Herbes de Provence. [Holiday Tip: A big batch makes an excellent gift for all of your culinary-minded friends.]
Herbes de Provence tastes excellent on roasted chicken, fish, and vegetables.
If you've never used it before, hold onto your shirt. This distinctive blend may quickly become one of your go-to seasonings.
This seasoning mix also makes a fantastic chicken salad.
A few teaspoons of Herbes de Provence adds a unique flavor to chicken salad, not to mention it also tastes amazing on a beautiful piece of toasted sourdough! I'm asking myself right now why I don't have any leftover chicken in the fridge to whip up a batch of chicken salad.
This Meal Prep Bowl recipe is the first time that I am talking about explicitly using leftovers for a Beast Bowl.
This roasted chicken and vegetable dinner is made in one roasting pan. The leftovers are used to prep Beast Bowls all week.[/caption]
The way that I game my meal prep is by making a beautiful dinner of roasted chicken and vegetables on the weekend.
Also, I go ahead and make a big batch of blanched green beans to go with this dinner. I plan and make sure that I have made enough chicken and roasted vegetables to have enough for packing my lunch all week.
To be efficient at meal prep you need to prioritize ease of prepping over variety.
Sound too boring? I will gladly eat the same lunch all week if it means that I am prepared with a macro-friendly bowl of deliciousness, and I am not spending 2 hours in the kitchen every night.
Ideally, I try to make sure that I have two different types of leftovers. This allows me a tad more variety. And, if you take some extra care to make those two meals AMAZING, you are even that much better off. [No one says that your meal has to consist of boring chicken and unseasoned veggies!]
