ORANGE CHILI SAUCE RECIPE & MEAL PREP

299cal

Ingredients

4 Servings
  • 1 1/4 lb chicken breasts, raw and cut into 1-inch pieces
    • SUBSTITUTES: extra firm tofu, lean beef, shrimp
  • 2 bags (24oz or 680g) frozen cauliflower rice
  • 1 large bundle of asparagus (~16 thick asparagus spears)
  • 3 tablespoons orange chili sauce (see below)

Process

Step 1

Prepare frozen cauliflower according to the instructions given on the packet.

Step 2

Set a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and spray with olive oil once hot.  Toss in the asparagus and allow it to sear and on at least one side before removing from the skillet, about 3 to 5 minutes. Season with a pinch of sea salt & pepper. You want the asparagus crisp-tender so don’t overcook them! Pro-tip: squeeze in fresh lemon or add 2 tablespoons water to the skillet while they cook to create steam to help soften them.

Step 3

Spray the same skillet with olive oil and toss in the chicken. While it cooks sprinkle in black pepper if desired (salt is not necessary because you’re adding sauce). Once the chicken (or your protein), is cooked through build the meal prep.

Step 4

Add some asparagus and cauliflower rice, then drizzle ~3 tablespoons over the chicken (or your choice of protein).
