Instructions

  1. 1Chop your chicken breasts into cubes and place in a bowl. Mix in 1/4 cup greek yogurt, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, lemon pepper, smoked paprika, and dill weed to taste. Stir until all cubes are fully covered and marinate in the fridge for 30 mins.
  2. 2Preheat the oven to 450F. Chop your bell peppers, zucchini, and red onion into thin slices. Place on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, lemon pepper, and dill weed. Place vegetables in the oven once heated for 20 minutes.
  3. 3Remove chicken from the fridge and place into a pan with 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 crushed garlic clove. Sauté on low to medium heat for 30 minutes, until thoroughly cooked with golden brown edges.
  4. 4While the chicken and vegetables cook, you can prepare your tzatziki. Grate one large cucumber and strain. Add your strained cucumber to a bowl and add 1 cup strained greek yogurt. Mix in 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 half lemon juice, salt, pepper, and dill weed.
  5. 5Add 1 cup strained and rinsed chickpeas to your blender, 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp tahini, salt, pepper and 1 clove garlic. Blend and add olive oil until desired consistency.
  6. 6Heat 1 cup rice, top with chicken and vegetables. Drizzle with tzatziki and one dollop of hummus. Top with dill weed and drizzle olive oil for desired moisture. Squeeze 1 half lemon juice over top for taste.

Dinner Already Waiting In The Fridge

A bowl of rice, something warm on top, and a little sauce covers a lot of weeknights. Cook it Sunday, eat it Tuesday, and nobody has to ask what's for dinner.

Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the week looks packed — practice nights, long shifts, lunches that need packing before 7 a.m.

Every recipe here stacks up in a container and reheats well, from the Mediterranean Chicken Bowl and Best Chicken Burrito Bowl to Salmon and Sweet Potato Meal Prep Bowls, Beef and Pepper Rice Bowl, and a Warm Harvest Quinoa Bowl with kale and lemon.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Cool before you lid

    Let rice and meat sit out 15 to 20 minutes before sealing containers, or steam collects and turns everything soggy.

  2. 2

    Keep sauce separate

    Pack cilantro lime sauce or guacamole in a 2-ounce cup and add it after reheating so it stays fresh and bright.

  3. 3

    Undercook the vegetables

    Pull zucchini, peppers, and broccoli 2 minutes early — they finish cooking in the microwave later in the week.

  4. 4

    Salt the rice pot

    Add 1 teaspoon salt per 2 cups of water before the rice goes in; seasoned rice keeps a bowl from tasting flat on day three.
