Spicy Chicken Meal Prep: How We Build This Flavor-Packed Favorite
Spicy Chicken Meal Prep: How We Build This Flavor-Packed Favorite
Our spicy chicken meal prep is packed with flavor, crafted from scratch, and designed to support your health goals—all while keeping your routine exciting with a rotating menu.
Every week, Meal Prep Sunday brings new meals to the table—literally. One of our most-loved creations is the Spicy Herb-Roasted Chicken Breast, a bold and balanced meal that’s been a customer favorite. While it might not be on the menu every week, a version of this dish—or something equally flavorful—is always just around the corner. Here’s how we prepare this popular chicken meal prep from scratch, ensuring it’s not only delicious but also aligned with your fitness goals.
Monday: Quality First, Always
Every great meal begins with great ingredients.
Our purchasing and culinary teams inspect every delivery for temperature and freshness as soon as it arrives. Poultry must be stored below 39°F, and all produce gets individually inspected for ripeness, appearance, and quality. This strict quality assurance process is the first step to making sure your chicken meal prep tastes just as fresh on Friday as it did when we cooked it.
To get ahead, Monday is also when we wash and prep the bok choy—a time-consuming but necessary step for flavor and cleanliness.
Tuesday: Sauce, Seasoning, and Setup
🔥 Spicy Herb Blend: Custom-Crafted Heat
We begin the day by making our signature spicy herb rub, using a precise blend of:
Light and dark chili powders
Garlic powder
Cumin
Regular and smoked paprika
With this mix. we will use this handcrafted seasoning is mixed and taste-tested to perfection before it’s used to marinate the chicken breasts.
🧄 Sweet ‘n Spicy Turmeric Aioli
Next, we whip up a house-made aioli—a favorite among our clients. It combines:
Mayo
Sriracha
Honey
Lemon juice
Turmeric
Salt and pepper
The result? A creamy, slightly sweet, and spicy sauce that balances the heat from the chicken rub perfectly.
Tuesday (continued): Veggie Prep Begins
We mince the bok choy to help it absorb flavor when sautéed, and begin testing small batches of sriracha soy-roasted chickpeas for ideal texture and taste. Once perfected, we scale it up and refrigerate the batches for later use.
Wednesday: Cooking with Precision
🍗 Searing the Chicken Breast
By now, the marinated chicken is deeply flavorful. We sear each chicken breast on both sides to lock in moisture and enhance the texture—an essential step that helps the chicken stay juicy and satisfying even after delivery.
🥬 Cooking the Vegetable Skillet
This vibrant mix includes:
Minced bok choy
Garlic
Curried purple cabbage
Roasted chickpeas
Sriracha and soy sauce
We sauté the garlic and bok choy first, then add in the rest for a color-rich, nutrient-packed side. After cooking, the vegetables are immediately transferred to our blast chiller to preserve their freshness and texture.
Thursday: Slicing with Care
After searing on Wednesday, the chicken breasts are oven-cooked to a safe internal temperature in our rational ovens. Once cooled slightly, they’re sliced into uniform pieces and stored cold until final packaging.
Friday: Assembling Your Spicy Chicken Meal Prep
Packaging day is all about balance 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. Then, we seal the meals using MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) to keep them fresh up to 7 days without artificial preservatives.
Why This Meal Stands Out
This spicy chicken meal prep is one of our most vibrant, nutrient-rich, and flavor-packed dishes to date. It’s made from scratch, tested for taste, and portioned with your performance in mind. While it may not appear on the menu every single week due to our rotating offerings, we always strive to bring back your favorites—or surprise you with a new spin on them.
👀 Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for variations of this meal by checking the weekly menu.
