15 minutes to prep, 30 to cook. A high‑protein meal prep that turns ordinary chicken, broccoli, and rice into a flavorful, satisfying dish.

Method
Cook the rice in an Aroma rice cooker using bone broth until tender.
Cut the broccoli into florets.
Boil the broccoli florets until just tender, then set aside.
Butterfly the raw chicken breast (press down to split) and score the surface in a cross‑hatch grid pattern.
Season the chicken generously on both sides with a reddish spice rub.
Place the seasoned chicken breasts into a hot pan and sear until a dark, hard crust forms on the surface.
Rest the seared chicken briefly on a cutting board.
In the same pan, add the boiled broccoli florets and cook briefly to absorb the chicken flavors.
Slice the rested chicken into bite‑size pieces.
Assemble each meal‑prep container: start with a base of cooked rice, top with broccoli florets, and add sliced chicken.
Drizzle the creamy orange‑pink sauce over the chicken and broccoli in each container.
Serve immediately or store for later meals.
