Pin ItWhat to Serve Spicy Curried Chicken With
Sweet potatoes – sweet potatoes have a higher amount of fiber than regular potatoes do. The carbs that these are made of are mostly starch which is more complex and therefore is harder to digest.
Cauliflower rice – it’s a great regular rice substitute that’s low carb. So, if you want to keep the meal prep bowl low carb, make this rice instead of the regular one.
Brown/Black rice – brown/black rice is better than white rice because it has all parts of the grain. So, they’re more nutritious and have more fiber which is essential for digestion.
Chickpeas – I’ve recently shared a low carb chickpea meal prep bowl on this website. Chickpeas are simply amazing for eating.
Fresh salad – there is nothing better than a fresh salad with chicken. If you want to keep the meal prep low carb, try some of the delicious keto salad recipes.
How Long Can You Keep It in the Fridge?
While some say that chicken is fine in the fridge for 4 – 5 days. I usually don’t keep it for longer than 3 days.
Make sure the containers you get are airtight. Glass containers like these ones here tend to keep food fresh for longer.

How many ounces of protein should I have in my meal? I see for one meal, it’s one breast.
Hey Anna, yes one chicken breast. The ones I have used are around 6-7 ounces. 🙂
I assume you cook the veggies and chicken on separate pans in the oven. There is no mention in the recipe of how to cook the chicken. Thanks.
Hi Suzanne,
very good question. I’ve now updated the instructions so it’s clearer. I used separate pans and just took out veggies a little earlier. You can also place the veggies in the oven around 5 minutes after baking the chicken.
This recipe says curry powder but no measurement appears to be included.what is the measurement for the marinade?
