Prep Day
A little prep goes a long way
Just a few simple steps today will make this week’s dinners easier and faster to prepare!
Chicken
Divide the chicken, then prepare each portion for its dinner.
Divide the chicken
Start with 2½ lb raw boneless chicken. Divide into two equal 1¼ lb portions. Keep raw chicken separate from other food.
Cook & shred for enchiladas
Air-fry one 1¼ lb portion at 375°F in a single layer (in batches if needed) for about 15–20 minutes, until the thickest part reaches 165°F. Rest 5 minutes; shred with two forks. Refrigerate promptly in a covered shallow container for 3–4 days, or freeze.
Cut chicken for honey-garlic bowls
Cut the other raw 1¼ lb portion into 1-inch pieces. Seal and refrigerate for 1–2 days, or freeze if cooking later. Wash hands, knife, and cutting board after handling raw chicken.
Rice
Cook once and portion it for the week’s dinners.
Cook & portion rice
Cook 3 cups dry rice following your rice cooker directions (about 9 cups cooked). Divide into three portions, roughly 3 cups each.
