Honey Garlic Butter Chicken with Cauliflower Rice Meal Prep
Chicken pieces are coated in a honey garlic butter sauce and served with garlic butter cauliflower rice. It's an easy, low carb and flavorful meal prep!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp olive oil or canola oil
- 1 1/4 lb chicken tenders or breast, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 5 cups garlic parmesan cauliflower rice, (see note)
Honey Garlic Butter Sauce
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 6 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 1/2 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 1/2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, add minced garlic and butter. Cook on low heat until butter is melted and garlic flavor is infused into the butter.
- Add remaining honey garlic butter ingredients to the saucepan. Stir and cook over low heat. Taste and adjust as needed. Set aside.
- In a large nonstick skillet, add oil and bring the skillet to medium-high heat.
- Add in chicken pieces. Sear chicken on both sides until they are golden brown.
- Pour honey garlic butter sauce over chicken. Cook a few minutes until chicken is completely cooked, the sauce has thickened and is evenly coated over chicken. Sprinkle parsley over chicken.
- Divide chicken and cauliflower rice into meal prep containers. Allow food to cool completely before storing in fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Use this recipe for the cauliflower rice.
- I recommend using a nonstick skillet for the chicken. It is easier to allow the chicken to develop a good sear without it sticking to the pan.
