Learning how to meal prep for the week in the easiest way possible is something I'm trying to perfect. And today's Chicken Fried Rice Meal Prep recipe is staying true to that philosophy. 

From start to finish this chicken fried rice meal prep will take you under an hour. Yep, in under 60 minutes you have lunches or dinners (or a combination of both) covered for the work week.

Also, this is a great meal prep for weight loss. Each container of this chicken fried rice has less than 300 calories.

At the end of the day, weight loss comes down to eating less calories than you burn. Having satisfying, low calorie meals like this at your finger tips at any given time can be a weight loss game changer.

By the way, if you need help setting up a weight loss plan, I wrote an e-book that can help you out with that - you can grab that here. 

Low Carb Chicken Fried Rice Meal Prep Essentials:

• A food scale so you can figure out the nutritional information, and so you can evenly distribute the fried rice into your containers
• Speaking of containers, you'll definitely need some meal prep containers - for obvious reasons
• One of the best purchases I've made has been my wok (you can get it here), and I'd highly recommend using one. It just makes cooking large batches of food so much easier.
• Don't skip out on the sesame oil - I use this one - it really makes the dish
• The Green Giant Riced Cauliflower Medley is seriously a low-carb game changer

• Author: The Diet Chef
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 20 mins
• Total Time: 35 mins
• Yield: 6 Containers 1x
• Category: Meal Prep
• Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

• 4 Bags of Green Giant's Riced Cauliflower Medley (or 16 cups of riced cauliflower + 3 cups of a peas and carrots mix)
• 300g Of egg beaters (or 8 egg whites, or 6 whole eggs)
• 3 Medium to large sized chicken breasts (1750g)
• 1 Tbsp sesame oil
• 3 Tbsps soy sauce

Instructions

1. Trim and cube 3 medium to large sized chicken breasts about (1500g or about 4lbs)
2. Add chicken to a large pan coated with baking spray and cook on medium high heat until no longer pink and white all the way through (around 10 minutes)
3. Weigh-out your chicken before cooking it if you're trying to keep track of the calories in your meal prep ... and be sure to enter the value as "uncooked" in MyFItnessPal etc.
4. Next take out 4 Bags (12 oz / 340g) riced cauliflower medley bags by Green Giant OR 16 Cups of riced cauliflower + 3 Cups of a peas and carrots mix
5. Coat a large wok with nonstick baking spray, and add the cauliflower
6. At this point, you can also add 3 Tbsps of soy sauce.
7. Cook until all of the water evaporates from the wok itself
8. Once the water cooks out add 300g egg beater (8 egg whites, or 6 whole eggs, or 4 whites and 3 whole eggs)
9. Cook until the eggs are fluffy and dry and no liquid egg is left in the wok
10. Now add your chicken and mix everything together until combined
11. Take your food scale back out, add a large bowl to it (tare the scale to zero), add you fried rice to the bowl along with 1 tbsp of sesame oil, and whatever the amount is in grams on the scale is what you'll want to divide by. For instance, If you want to only make 4 meal preps out of this, you'd divide the number on the scale by 4, and then add that amount of fried rice to each meal prep container. So, say you have 1000g of fried rice you'd divide that up into 4 containers, and each meal prep container would have 250g of chicken fried rice.

Notes

Containers will last up to 5 days in the fridge. However, you can easily freeze them, and heat them up when you'd like them.
