Happy Sunday, meal preppers! This week’s prep is all about getting in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible, so there’s one meal that’s totally no-cook and all the others are meals that I make all the time. Because I make them all the time, the recipes live in my head and I never even have to reference them, which saves time!
If you’ve never been here before, welcome! My meal prep posts go a little something like this: 1) meal plan (use any or all of it!), 2) snack ideas, 3) links to the containers you see here, and 4) recipes and nutrition info. You can jump straight to the recipes by clicking the “Jump to Recipes” link above, or click the direct link to the individual recipe you want below. Otherwise, just keep scrolling down!
If you’re new to meal prepping or want to learn more about how I meal prep, go check out my Meal Prep 101 page for more my meal planning tips and strategies.




Here’s a quick peek at this week’s recipes. Just click the button below to jump straight to the one you want! Note: the links in the meal plan below will take you to individual recipe pages (separate from this post), but the big teal buttons will take you to the recipe embedded in this post.
Anand here’s a look inside my fridge after finishing this meal prep! Am I an organization freak? I’d say yeah, a little bit 😉 But you also can’t really see all the stuff hidden behind the meal prep containers or what’s in the fridge door, so don’t be too jealous.

Teriyaki Chicken Power Bowls
Ingredients
- 2 lb chicken breast, raw
- 2 cups shelled edamame, (340 grams)
- 1 large red bell pepper, chopped, (165 grams)
- 3 cups broccoli florets, (234 grams)
- 3 medium carrots, julienned, (250 grams)
- 1 small red onion, roughly chopped, (100 grams)
- 1 1/4 cup Wegmans Organic Teriyaki Sauce, divided, (10 fl oz)
- 3 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp rice vinegar
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- Optional: rice for serving
Instructions
- Marinate chicken. Add chicken to a resealable container or zip top bag. Pour 1/2 cup of the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, and rice vinegar over the chicken and mix around with your hands until well incorporated and evenly coated. Set aside to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 6 hours.
- Set aside 2-3 tbsp teriyaki sauce in a small bowl with a brush for grilling.
- Grill chicken. After chicken has marinated, pre-heat grill to 400°. Spray grill grates with grill-safe non-stick spray. Allow excess marinade to drip off of chicken, then place on sprayed or oiled grill grates. Close grill and cook for 6 minutes, then flip chicken, brush with additional teriyaki sauce, and continue cooking for 5-6 more minutes or until internal temperature barely reaches 165°. Set aside to rest for at least 5 minutes before slicing.
- Prepare veggies. As the chicken cools, heat a large skillet over medium high (7-8 out of 10) heat. Add 1 tsp sesame oil. Once hot, add julienned carrots and cook, flipping and stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes or until carrots begin to soften. Add pepper and onion and continue cooking for another 1-2 minutes. Remove to a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same hot skillet, add remaining sesame oil. Once hot, add broccoli florets and toss to coat evenly. Cover with a lid to trap the steam and continue cooking and flipping broccoli until it's tender crisp, about 3 minutes. Add a tablespoon or 2 of water if needed to help it steam and cook. Remove to the bowl with the cooked carrots, pepper, and onion.
- Add shelled edamame to bowl with veggies and pour remaining teriyaki sauce over top. Mix to coat evenly.
- Assemble. Serve over rice and add sliced chicken on top. Garnish with sesame seeds, if desired.
