Peanut Chicken Stir Fry Meal Prep Bowl

This Peanut Chicken Stir Fry Meal Prep Bowl is a healthy meal prep recipe you can make ahead of time!

Does the meal prep bowl recipes limit exist? I really hope not, because I can’t stop won’t stop.

This recipe for Peanut Chicken Stir Fry Meal Prep Bowl is actually one that I’ve been making since college. I really love a good stir fry recipe when I’m feeling lazy and just need to meet my vegetable quota with something other than a salad.

This peanut chicken stir fry takes it a step further with a delicious peanut sauce that’s super easy to make using pantry staples you probably already have on hand.

I love stir fry as a meal prep recipe because it reheats wonderfully and it seriously takes less than 20 minutes to make a week’s worth of lunches.

I typically serve stir fry over cauliflower rice, but you can also serve it over brown rice or quinoa … or just eat it by itself!

Then, just pack it all up in meal prep containers (I use these ones), refrigerate, and grab a container when you head out the door! Boom, you’ve got healthy work lunches ready to go.
