Ingredients

Chicken Marinade

8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sesame oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Sesame Slaw

1 bag coleslaw mix
2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp powdered ginger

Rice

1 cup jasmine rice
1 1/4 cups water
1 tsp butter
1 pinch salt

Equipment

Large bowl
Grill or Oven
Small bowl
Baking sheet

Method

Preheat your grill to high heat, or preheat your oven to 425 F. In a large bowl, mix the chicken marinade ingredients together. Add the chicken thighs and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the jasmine rice according to the package directions. Mix together the ingredients for the sesame slaw dressing, then set the dressing aside.
Add the chicken to the grill or a frying pan. Cook on the grill for 7 minutes, then flip and cook for another 5 minutes, depending on the size of the thighs. If you use the oven method, bake the chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20 minutes or until the thickest part of the thigh reaches 165 F.
Add two chicken thighs to each meal prep bowl. Toss the coleslaw with the dressing, then add the slaw and rice to each bowl. Serve immediately, or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 to 5 days.

Notes

This recipe makes four servings. Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days, making it suitable for weekly meal planning.
