Korean Inspired Chicken & Rice Bowls

These are one of my most liked meal preps I’ve done thus far! The photos turned out incredible but trust me when I tell you that these turned out AMAZING!

Marinating the chicken gave it such huge flavor and also kept it from drying out. The spicy teriyaki sauce on these was delicious.

I used chicken thighs for this recipe and WOWZA it makes all the difference in the world. I have always preferred dark meat ever since I was a kid. My parents would always save me the neck of the turkey along with the dark pieces. Chicken thighs just have so much flavor!
