Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Grilled Mango Chicken Meal Prep Bowls.
Step 1
Start by preheating your outdoor grill to a medium-high heat, and don’t forget to lightly oil the grate to keep your delicious creations from sticking.
Step 2
While the grill warms up, grab a saucepan and combine water with basmati rice.
Step 3
Bring this mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low.
Step 4
Cover the saucepan and let it simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water—this is where the magic happens! Next, let’s whip up a vibrant mango sauce.
Step 5
In a blender, combine ripe mango, olive oil, fresh lime juice, honey, a splash of Sriracha for a kick, garlic, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Blend everything until it’s smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Now, take your chicken breasts and place them in a shallow bowl.
Step 8
Pour half of that luscious mango sauce over the chicken, allowing it to marinate for about 10 minutes.
Step 9
This step infuses the chicken with incredible flavor! While the chicken is soaking up those tasty vibes, let’s create a fresh corn salsa.
Step 10
In a separate bowl, mix together black beans, sweet corn, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, and a sprinkle of salt.
Step 11
This colorful salsa will add a refreshing crunch to your meal.
Step 12
Once your grill is ready and the chicken has marinated, it’s time to cook! Grill the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side, or until it’s no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 13
To be sure it’s perfectly cooked, an instant-read thermometer should show at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 14
After grilling, let the chicken rest for a few minutes to keep it juicy.
Step 15
Now, let’s assemble your meal prep bowls! Start by dividing the fluffy cooked rice among four glass containers.
Step 16
Place two pieces of grilled chicken in each bowl, drizzle with the reserved mango sauce, and top it all off with that vibrant corn salsa and a sprinkle of coconut flakes for a tropical twist.
Step 17
For an extra touch of creaminess, add some avocado slices on top.
Step 18
Cover your bowls and pop them in the fridge, where they’ll stay fresh for up to 5 days.
Step 19
Enjoy the convenience of having delicious, healthy meals ready to go whenever you need them!.
