Lemon Chicken with Cilantro Brown Rice #healthymeals #recipeketo

Buttery sour herbed chicken with stir cooked firm vegetables and cilantro lemon rice all mounted in half-hour. Yes, you browse it right, tired thirty minutes! are you able to believe that? Multitasking and small prepping ahead makes a delicious healthy, hearty meal for your busy weekday dinner/lunch. do that one out, I guarantee you won’t mind one bit!

Keep in mind to not push Lemon Chicken with Cilantro rice within the icebox on the far side four days. It won’t style pretty much as good. conjointly I simply microwave the meal for few seconds thus it’s simply heat enough to eat. I don't suggest temperature reduction these meal boxes. preparation it for four to five days every week.

Feel free to use any vegetable of your selection for this lemon chicken with cilantro rice. conjointly you'll be able to swap rice with super grains like quinoa. And similar to that lunch is served!
