Ingredients

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set out 4 meal prep containers. 

While the oven is heating, bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add the brown rice, reduce to a simmer, cover and let cook for 30 minutes.

Once the rice is on, lay the chicken breast on the baking sheet and sprinkle with Greek seasoning. Place in the oven for about 30 minutes, or until cooked through.

While the chicken and rice are cooking, dice your cucumber and red onion on a dishwasher safe cutting board for easy clean up. Add them to a large bowl along with the cherry tomatoes, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper. Mix well.

Divide the rice equally between containers along with the chicken and veggies. Eat immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. 

If you prefer to eat warm after prepping: store tomatoes, onions and cucumber salad separately in a small glass container, and reheat chicken and rice for 3 minutes on 50% power then add cucumber-tomato salad and any toppings. 

For more flavor and protein, add feta cheese or Tzatziki sauce if desired (after reheating, if enjoying warm).
