Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. Coconut Oil
- 4 x 130g chicken breast
- 350g sweet potato
- 1/2 tsp. sea salt
- 1/2 tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1 bag fresh spinach
- 350g green beans (trimmed)
- Sprinkle of chosen spices (try a different one on each breast to switch up the flavours – we like Italian herb, paprika, barbecue, lemon and herb, and chilli seasoning)
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Firstly, start by cutting your sweet potatoes into wedges and place onto a baking tray. Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then bake for 25 minutes.
- Boil the kettle and place the trimmed green beans in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the green beans with a pinch of salt and allow to blanch for 1-2 minutes (do not cook fully in order to retain nutrient value).
- Place the chicken breast on a griddle or large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and cook until brown on one side, then flip the chicken over and flavour each breast with spices of choice
- Once chicken is thoroughly cooked place on a board to rest and cool.
- Drain the green beans from the salted water.
- Once all ingredients have cooled make up the the meal boxes. Add 2 handfuls of spinach, scoop of wedges, green beans and a chicken breast to each box.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge, then microwave for 3-4 minutes or until piping hot.
