Citrus Habanero Chicken Meal Prep: Sweet Heat in Every Bite

Our sweet heat chicken meal prep featuring Citrus Habanero Chicken Breast is one of the boldest dishes on this week’s rotating menu. Crafted for those who want big flavor without sacrificing nutrition, this meal combines citrusy tang, fiery habanero, and chef-crafted balance in every bite.

Tuesday: Marinade & Salsa Prep

We start the week by preparing two key flavor elements:

Citrus Habanero Marinade

This sweet and spicy marinade is made in-house using:

  • Fresh lime and orange juice

  • Cilantro, habanero, and habanero sauce

  • Cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper

Our culinary team blends these ingredients until smooth, then marinates the chicken breasts to soak overnight for optimal flavor.

Chunky Habanero Salsa

Our salsa adds vibrant heat and depth to the meal. We make it with:

  • Tomatoes, red onion, cilantro

  • Habanero, garlic, agave, and lime juice

We use industrial mixers to ensure the perfect texture before chilling for use later in the week.

Wednesday: Rice & Vegetable Prep

We prepare two essential components for the bowl:

Spanish Rice

Our Spanish rice includes white rice, oil, seasoning, and chicken stock. We make it by roasting it in the oven in large pans and rotate them evenly using Rational ovens to lock in their flavor and nutrients.

Sautéed Vegetables

We sauté zucchini, cherry tomatoes, and green beans on flat-top grills. These are seasoned, sliced consistently for even cooking, and checked repeatedly for texture and taste.

Thursday: Plating & Packaging
