Looking for fast, easy and healthy recipes but still tasty and scrumptious? Well, you’re in luck because this One Pan Bulgogi Chicken and Veggies meal prep checks all those criteria. If you find yourself asking these questions: What should I pack for lunch this week? What is least effort to make, but is not bland? I’ve got the answers for you!
Let’s do this!
It starts with baking some chicken thighs and vegetables all in one pan. Because we’re busy people and we don’t want to spend most of the night doing dishes. Now, there is only one pan to wash! Then while the chicken and veggies are roasting in the oven, you make a batch of this delicious bulgogi sauce. But wait, my favorite part is tossing the chicken with the yummy sauce and dividing them into lunch containers. I am not exaggerating when I say I felt like a champion because I’ve accomplished all of it under 45 minutes.
One pan miracle is about to happen; you’ve gotten yourself a pretty darn delicious meal to last throughout the work week.
The zucchini cooked very quickly so make sure you sliced it in thicker strips to keep its shape when roasting. Also, pear adds a nice sweet flavor to the sauce but if you don’t have any pear on the kitchen counter available, an apple is a great alternative.
Get ready to feel like a meal prep superstar and get envious eyes from the coworkers.
