My lunch meal prep recipes do all seem to be chicken and rice for the most part. Well, sometimes I add in a veggie. HA! Not only is chicken breast 0 points but my husband happens to be allergic to chicken so it makes for the perfect lunch for me.

NOTE this recipe is Jamalsamfit’s which you will find him on instagram. I used his recipe and used some low ww point ingredients. This dish has the perfect combination of sweet and spicy which is one of my favorite combos! I take the cucumber out and set aside then reheat for 1.5 minutes, stir and heat another 1 minute. Either you can add back in your cold cucumbers or eat them on the side which is what I do. SO GOOD!

Instructions

Cut your chicken into bite size pieces and place into a mixing bowl
Add your chicken seasoning and mix well, coating all of your chicken pieces
Set your air fryer to 400
Once heated, add half of your chicken pieces, laying in a single layer. Cook for 17 minutes; make sure to flip them all around a few times while they cook
As soon as your first batch of chicken goes in to the air fryer, start your rice cooking
When your chicken is cooked, place into a clean mixing bowl and add the rest of the uncooked chicken into air fryer to cook
Slice your cucumbers, place into a small bowl and mix in your pickled seasonings. Set aside to marinade
Add your Korean sauce to the sauce pan and bring to a quick boil while whisking then turn down to simmer. Will thicken.
Once all of your chicken is done, place into your sauce pan and mix until all chicken is coated
At this time, your rice should be done
Assemble your bowls and feel free to top with whatever you wish! I used green onion pieces, red pepper flakes and white sesame seeds
