Method
 

  1. Instructions:
  2. Cut the chicken breast into 1-inch bite-sized cubes. Toss with a light spray of olive oil and your chosen seasoning (taco, lemon-herb, or garlic-parmesan work great).
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Cook the chicken cubes in the air fryer for 10-12 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the chicken cooks, prepare your sides: cook quinoa or rice according to package directions, and roast or air-fry your chosen vegetables.
  6. Assemble the bowls: Divide the cooked quinoa or rice evenly among 4 meal prep containers. Top with roasted veggies and air fryer chicken.
  7. Add fresh elements right before eating: Top each bowl with sliced avocado and a dollop of Greek yogurt dressing or salsa.

Notes

Notes:
Cut chicken into uniform pieces to ensure all cubes cook at the same rate.
Always let your meal prep components cool completely before putting the lids on to prevent condensation and sogginess.
Store avocado separately or add it right before eating to prevent browning.
These bowls will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. They are perfectly suited for microwave reheating (except the avocado and fresh toppings).
