This is the kind of meal prep that actually keeps you satisfied all week long. The combination of lean protein, hearty rice, and fresh crunchy toppings gives you a balanced meal that feels filling without feeling heavy. The sweet and creamy peanut sauce brings everything together so each bite feels like comfort food, while still being simple enough to make on a busy day. It’s an easy way to stay on track without sacrificing flavor or variety.
Mix the 1 tbsp soy sauce, garlic powder and paprika with your chicken and let sit for 10 minutes.
Set air fryer to 400 for 25 minutes
Start your rice cooker
Once your air fryer is set, lay the chicken pieces down in a single layer; flip half way through and mix around so they all cook evenly.
Once your chicken and rice are almost done, whisk your sauce ingredients together on the stove top at a low temp. Slowly add the warm water based on the consistency you want.
Start assembling your bowls with the slaw, rice and chicken. Pour extra sauce if you want into small condiment containers and top with cilantro, crushed peanuts and red pepper flakes.
