This week’s meal prep is the first we have done since I joined Weight Watchers so we had the added bonus of figuring out the points for each meal! I have tried to calculate the SmartPoints based on the recipe and serving sizes I used. Each serving contains 3-4 oz of chicken, 1/4 cup of sauce, and 1.5 cups of veggies (M added 1/2 cup of quinoa to his).
Ingredients
- 7 boneless/skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp garlic salt
- pinch of pepper
- 2.5 cups coconut milk
- 2 tbsp Red Chilli Sauce
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 large bag of broccoli
- 1 large bag of cauliflower
- 1 cup quinoa (optional)
Process
Preheat oven to 450F. Coat chicken in olive oil, garlic salt and pepper, and fresh basil. Place in an oven-safe dish and cook for 30 mins. Check that insides are not pink when done.
In a pot, mix coconut milk, Red Chilli paste, and tomato paste together. Bring to a boil then simmer for 10-15 mins.
If you are using broccoli and cauliflower, steam veggies while the chicken is cooking. I normally just place them all in a large pot with a bit of water and salt and cook over low-medium heat.
Once all your ingredients are done, add to you containers and you’re ready to go!
Happy eating!
