Meal prep of the week under $20
Save this for you to prep next week! I kept it very simple this week with chicken, green beans, veggies, and rice. I needed something quick but effective lol. I did get the big bag of chicken from Sam’s Club and this was about 2 pounds of green beans.
I seasoned and sauté the chicken for maybe about 10 to 15 minutes. Wow that was cooking. I also washed my rice and it cooked within 10 minutes on medium high heat. If you feel like your rice takes too long to cook then your rice probably isn’t washed lol. Washed rice does not take long at all, and it doesn’t take but a couple of seconds to wash your rice. I chopped the onion and added the mushrooms into the green beans and sautéed all covered with a little bit of chicken stock for 15 minutes tossing it every 5 minutes.
So you got a meal that cost less than $20, only takes about 20 minutes, and keeps you in a calorie deficit, you’re welcome!! ☺️
