Meal Prep Recipe: Spicy Siracha Chicken, w/ Veggies and Brown Rice & Baked Tilapia w/ Black Bean, Corn and Avocado Salsa and Spinach

This is my first meal prep recipe for the blog so please forgive me if I leave anything out, and if you have any questions feel free to ask!  Also, if you use this for anything please give me credit, thanks!

This recipe is intended to make 5 lunches and 5 dinners for the week with some left overs.

Ingredients Needed:

• 1 pack of chicken drumsticks (at least 10 per pack)
• 3 bags of Kroger Mixed Frozen Vegetables (I was lazy this time around and used two bags of peppers and onions and one that was a mixed bag but you can use whatever you like or cook them fresh!)
• 1 box of whole grain brown rice
• 2 Packs of Tilapia Fillets, (Not the Frozen kind!)
• 1 can black beans (low sodium)
• 1 can sweet corn
• 2 avocados
• 2 large bags of baby spinach ~ 5oz
• 1-2 Cups of Pico De Gallo (can be found in Kroger next to the produce)

For the Chicken:

• Preheat Oven to 375 F
• Cover baking sheets with aluminum foil and lightly spray with oil.  Place drumsticks on pan 1-2" apart.
• Spice drumsticks with whatever you would like, I did a mix of pepper, garlic salt and cajun seasoning and then brushed it with Siracha Sauce.
• Cook for 30 minutes then remove from oven and turnover.  Make sure to spice the other side
• Cook for another 35 minutes and you're done.

For the Tilapia:

• Keep the oven at 375 F
• Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly spray with oil. Place fish on pan and season to taste
• Cook for 30 minutes.

Black Bean, Corn, Avocado Salsa

• Combine the can of black beans and corn into a strainer and rinse thoroughly with water.
• After rinsing, place in a large mixing bowl
• Chop up the 2 Avocados
• Add the Pico De Gallo and chopped avocados to the bowl
• Stir and season to taste

Veggies

• Put a small amount of oil in the bottom of a large pan
• Add all three bags of veggies and cook until they are just about done.
• Strain  them if there is any excess water, and set aside

Rice

• Read the box......seriously, but make sure you have enough servings for each meal you make! (I had a little over 6 cups of cooked rice, which was perfect for me. A serving is usually 1 cup cooked).

Viola and everything is cooked and ready to be put into containers for your meals for the week.  I personally use the Glad Tall Entree Tupperware containers, as they seem to fit everything into one.

For the Chicken, Rice and Veggies.

• Split all Vegetables evenly among portions
• 1 Cup of Cooked Rice
• 2 Chicken Drumsticks

For Tilapia

• Add as much spinach as you would like!
• Add 1 cup of the salsa

In a separate container store the Tilapia (so when you microwave it, it will not wilt the spinach or heat up the salsa).

Add any leftovers to a container for a healthy snack when you are extra hungry.

That is it!  I hope everyone enjoys and stay healthy!
