Spicy Chicken Meal Prep: How We Build This Flavor-Packed Favorite
Our spicy chicken meal prep doesn’t just taste amazing—it supports your health goals while keeping your routine exciting with our rotating weekly menu. Every week, Meal Prep Sunday introduces new meals, literally bringing fresh ideas to your table.
One of our most-loved creations is the Spicy Herb-Roasted Chicken Breast. This bold, balanced meal has consistently been a customer favorite. While it may not appear on the menu every week, a version of this dish—or an equally flavorful alternative—is always on the horizon. Let’s break down how we prepare this chicken meal prep from scratch, ensuring it’s both delicious and aligned with your fitness goals.
Monday: Quality First, Always
Every exceptional meal begins with high-quality ingredients.
Our purchasing and culinary teams inspect every delivery for temperature and freshness immediately upon arrival. Poultry is stored below 39°F, while produce undergoes individual inspections for ripeness, appearance, and overall quality. This strict quality assurance process guarantees that your spicy chicken meal prep tastes as fresh on Friday as it does the day we cook it.
At the same time, we wash and prep the bok choy—a time-consuming but essential step that ensures both flavor and cleanliness.
Tuesday: Sauce, Seasoning, and Setup
🔥 Spicy Herb Blend: Custom-Crafted Heat
We start by making our signature spicy herb rub, using a precise mix of:
Light and dark chili powders
Garlic powder
Cumin
Regular and smoked paprika
This handcrafted seasoning is taste-tested and perfected before marinating the chicken breasts, adding layers of flavor that develop over time.
🧄 Sweet ‘n Spicy Turmeric Aioli
Next, we prepare our house-made aioli, a client favorite. It combines:
Mayo
Sriracha
Honey
Lemon juice
Turmeric
Salt and pepper
The result? A creamy, slightly sweet, and spicy sauce that perfectly balances the heat from the herb rub.
Tuesday (continued): Veggie Prep Begins
While the sauces develop, we mince bok choy so it absorbs maximum flavor when sautéed. Simultaneously, we test small batches of sriracha soy-roasted chickpeas to achieve ideal texture and taste. Once perfected, we scale the recipe and refrigerate the batches for use later in the week.
Wednesday: Cooking with Precision
🍗 Searing the Chicken Breast
By Wednesday, the marinated chicken has developed deep flavor. We sear each breast on both sides to lock in moisture and enhance texture—an essential step that ensures juiciness even after delivery.
🥬 Cooking the Vegetable Skillet
Next, we prepare the vibrant vegetable skillet, including:
Minced bok choy
Garlic
Curried purple cabbage
Roasted chickpeas
Sriracha and soy sauce
We sauté the garlic and bok choy first, then add the remaining ingredients to create a color-rich, nutrient-packed side. Immediately after cooking, we transfer the vegetables to our blast chiller, preserving freshness, texture, and vibrant flavor.
Thursday: Slicing with Care
After searing on Wednesday, we cook the chicken breasts to a safe internal temperature using our rational ovens. Once slightly cooled, we slice them into uniform pieces and store them cold, preparing for precise assembly on Friday.
Friday: Assembling Your Spicy Chicken Meal Prep
Packaging day focuses on balance, consistency, and precision. Each meal includes:
Sliced Spicy Herb-Roasted Chicken Breast
A portion of tri-color quinoa
A serving of our vegetable skillet
A cup of sweet ‘n’ spicy turmeric aioli
We portion each component to match the fitness goals selected by the customer. Finally, we seal the meals using Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), keeping them fresh up to 7 days without artificial preservatives.
By following these steps, we ensure that every bite of your spicy chicken meal prep delivers maximum flavor and optimal nutrition.
Why This Meal Stands Out
This spicy chicken meal prep is one of our most vibrant, nutrient-rich, and flavor-packed dishes. Crafted from scratch, tested for taste, and portioned with performance in mind, it consistently delivers results. While it may not appear on the menu every week due to our rotating offerings, we always bring back favorites—or surprise you with new spins on the dish.
Pro Tip: Check the weekly menu regularly for variations of this popular meal.
