IngredientsÂ
Directions
-
2 cups rice, dry
-
4 chicken breasts
-
1 Tbsp olive oil
-
2 cloves garlic
-
3 stalks green onions
-
1 Tbsp fresh squeezed ginger
-
¼ cup Thai green curry paste
-
1 Tbsp honey or sugar
-
1 can coconut milk
-
1 zucchini, diced
-
1 cup green beans, chopped
-
Preheat your oven to 400 F / 200 C. On a sheet pan, place 4 chicken breasts. Bake until fully cooked, 20-25 minutes. Once out of the oven, place in a heat-safe bowl, and, while still warm, use two forks or a knife to shred or dice (up to personal preference) the chicken.
-
In a large sized pot, cook 2 cups of dry rice, according to package instructions. (Typically, rice is cooked at a 2:1 ratio, water:dry rice. Combine into the pot, bring water to a boil, and then turn down the heat to simmer for 20 minutes or until water has all been absorbed.)
-
In a large skillet pan or pot over medium heat, add olive oil, garlic, and green onions until fragrant.
-
To the pot, add ginger, Thai green curry paste, honey, and coconut milk. Stir until fully combined. Add in the shredded or diced chicken, diced zucchini, and chopped green beans.
-
Simmer until vegetables are softened.
-
Divide your prepared rice into 4 meal prep containers. Spoon curry evenly into each. Keep in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. When ready to eat, heat in the microwave for 1.5-2 minutes.
