HACK: “It is good to do some meal prep ahead to eat well”. On week days you come home from work and have no time to work on a full meal that otherwise would take a lot of time. To fix that problem, for example, for this meal my prep consisted of cleaning and seasoning the chicken the day before, and cooking a batch of rice that will render 4 meals for 2 people. On meal day, I chop the veggies, microwave the rice and sauté the tenders. Done!
