Frequently asked

How much protein does the teriyaki chicken have?

Each serving has around 45 g of protein, mostly from the chicken breast. That makes the dish clearly high in protein and a great choice after a workout.

Can I prep this dish ahead for meal prep?

Yes. It keeps for about 2 days in an airtight container in the fridge. Store the rice and chicken separately and reheat them just before eating.

How do I make the recipe lower in carbs?

Swap the basmati rice for cauliflower rice or a larger portion of broccoli. The high protein content stays the same while the carbs drop noticeably.
