35 minutes (plus 2 hours marinating)

Method

  1. 01For the marinade, combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly. Add the chicken and let sit for 2 hours or overnight in the fridge.
  2. 02When ready, cook the chicken on a grill over medium heat until the thickest piece reaches 165°F internally, about 10 minutes. Thighs can be taken higher for texture if preferred. Remove from grill and rest.
  3. 03While the chicken rests, start the rice. Add the coconut oil to a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add rice, pineapple, and frozen carrots and peas. Mix well and cook until the rice starts to brown and the carrots are soft, about 8 minutes.
  4. 04Into 5 meal prep containers, evenly distribute the chicken and rice. Refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking, store up to 3-4 days, and reheat to 165°F before eating.

Notes from the kitchen

Macros assume boneless skinless chicken thighs and include a more conservative fat estimate. Thigh labels vary a lot by trim, so use your package data if you want the exact number. Food safety: chicken to 165°F, refrigerate within 2 hours of cooking, keep 3-4 days, reheat to 165°F before eating.
