High Protein Chicken Tikka Rice Bowls

High Protein Chicken Tikka Rice Bowls

Let's be honest, most meal prep food is boring.

You've probably done it before. A few containers of plain chicken, rice and broccoli on a Sunday, only to be sick of it by Tuesday and ordering a takeaway by Friday.

These High Protein Chicken Tikka Rice Bowls solve that problem.

You still get all the benefits of a high protein lunch, but with proper flavour. The chicken is marinated in our Tikka Spice Blend, giving it that classic takeaway-style chicken tikka flavour, while the rice is cooked with whole spices and turmeric for extra aroma and colour. Finish it off with a fresh mint and coriander yoghurt dressing and you've got a meal that genuinely feels like something you'd choose to eat, rather than something you have to eat.

At under 600 calories and over 45g of protein per portion, it's become one of my favourite meal prep lunches when I want something filling that doesn't feel like diet food.

Why This Works So Well For Meal Prep

Some recipes are great straight from the pan but don't hold up in the fridge. This isn't one of them.

The chicken stays juicy thanks to the yoghurt marinade, the rice reheats brilliantly and the yoghurt sauce brings everything back to life when you're ready to eat.

Make a batch on Sunday and you've got lunches sorted for the next few days without having to think about it.

It's also one of those meals that doesn't feel repetitive. You're getting plenty of flavour from the tikka chicken, freshness from the yoghurt sauce and enough carbs from the rice to keep you going through the afternoon.
