Ingredients

4 chicken breasts
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 broccoli head cut into florets
2 carrots sliced
1 cup (118.7 g) walnuts
1/4 tsp (0.2 tsp) salt
1/4 tsp (0.2 tsp) black pepper
1 tsp mixed herb seasoning

Instructions

Season the chicken breasts on both sides.
Heat a grill over medium-high heat and brush with olive oil.
Place the chicken on the grill and cook for 6-8 minutes on each side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets and carrots and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender.
Drain the broccoli and carrots and set aside.
In a dry pan over medium heat, toast the chopped walnuts for 3-5 minutes, until fragrant and slightly browned.
Divide the chicken, broccoli, carrots, and walnuts among four meal prep containers.
Store the containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat the containers in the microwave or on the stove until warmed through.
