  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken breasts and toss to coat evenly.
  3. Grill the chicken breasts for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  4. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice or dice.
  5. Assemble your meal prep boxes: Divide the cooked quinoa, steamed broccoli, and cherry tomatoes among the 4 containers. Top with the grilled chicken.
  6. Seal the containers and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Notes

You can customize the sides with your favorite vegetables or grains. For a different flavor profile, try different spice blends on the chicken.
