Maggie’s Menu: Chicken Pesto Prep Bowl
Message from Maggie:
Taking a recommendation from here, I made chicken pesto prep bowls for dinner this week.
What is a prep bowl? A bowl that can be prepped a head of time and enjoyed later. Perfect for busy people!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 pound green beans, trimmed
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/4 cup pesto, homemade or store-bought
Instructions:
- In a large saucepan of 2 cups water, cook rice according to package instructions; set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly oil a baking sheet or coat with nonstick spray.
- Place tomatoes in a single layer onto the prepared baking sheet. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and oregano; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Gently toss to combine.
- Place into oven and bake until the tomatoes begin to burst and have softened, about 15-16 minutes; set aside.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, blanch green beans until bright green in color, about 2 minutes. Drain well and run cool water over cooked beans. Drain well and set aside.
- Preheat grill. Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste. Add to grill and cook until cooked through. Remove from grill and cut into 1 inch chunks before gently tossing with pesto combine.
- Serve chicken immediately with rice, tomatoes and green beans.
