Thai Ginger Cilantro Ground Chicken a.k.a. Your New Lean Protein Meal Prep Staple!

THE LAST RECIPE of this week’s meal prep is this THAI GINGER CILANTRO GROUND CHICKEN!

This one’s bound to become a classic! Ready in under 20 minutes, delicious, nutritious & spiced to perfection!

So I definitely make a conscious effort to incorporate more plant-based protein into my diet, but lean ground chicken is definitely something I cannot go without!

What I love about preparing a ground chicken recipe for meal prep is that it’s so versatile that you could eat it a different way everyday (& you just won’t get sick of it, not only because it’s so good but because you won’t get bored of eating the same thing everyday).

You can eat it:

• as is!
• stirred into brown rice!
• in Buddha bowls!
• lettuce wraps!
• salads!
• tortillas!
• sandwiches!
• in grilled bell peppers!
• sweet potato or spaghetti squash halves!

Basically, the possibilities are endless!!!!

Most of my meal preps involve some sort of ground chicken recipe (some weeks I’ll do ground turkey too!) & those are mainly the reasons why! I mean, do you blame me?

This week, I decided to hit up the Thai flavours & opted for some white onion, green onion, coconut oil, ginger, chilli flakes, coconut aminos, rice vinegar & CILANTRO FOR DAYZ.

Without further ado, let me tell you how to make it!

My loves, YOU WILL NEED:

• Coconut oil cooking spray
• 1 white onion, DICED;
• 1 package of lean ground chicken;
• 1 tsp. ground ginger;
• 1 tsp. onion powder;
• 1 tsp. garlic powder;
• 1 tsp. chilli flakes;
• 3 tbsp. coconut aminos;
• 2 tbsp. organic rice vinegar (no salt or sugar added);
• 1/2 cup of chopped cilantro;
• 3 green onions, CHOPPED;
• Sea salt & black pepper.

NOW, for that HOW-TO?

• Spray a medium skillet with coconut oil cooking spray & heat over medium high heat.
• Once heated, add the onion & sauté for about 5 minutes, until browned & fragrant.
• Now, lower your fire to medium. Add the chicken & spices, coconut aminos & rice vinegar & sauté for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken begins to look cooked through & browned.
• Add the cilantro & green onion, season with sea salt & black pepper & sauté for another 1-3 minutes!
• DEVOUR!
