My meal prep chicken bake is a game changer for healthy weekday eating. This is the ultimate one-pan, “set it and forget it” meal. It takes a few minutes to prep, 40 minutes to bake, and lasts in the fridge for up to 3 days.
NOTE: this recipe makes ONE portion but feel free to make as many as you like in individual OVEN-safe glass Tupperware. I like to make enough for two days. Calories and macros will depend on the brands you use, so for most accurate results use My Fitness Pal.
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C).
Add the rice to the bottom of your oven-safe dish. Add the broth, yogurt, pesto, seasoning to taste, and frozen spinach. Stir well.
Season the chicken with salt and Italian seasoning.
Add the chicken on top of the rice mixture and stir it all together. Add a sprinkle of parmesan on top and bake for 40 minutes or until the chicken is fully cooked (white meat and clear juices throughout; no pink).
NOTE: the lids on Pyrex are NOT oven-safe so please bake uncovered.
Remove from the oven, fluff up the rice, and enjoy!
