Ingredients

  • 8 Chicken Legs/Thighs
  • Olive oil
  • 8 cups steamed rice
  • 40 oz. steamed broccoli

Special Tools

  • Microwavable meal prep containers
  • Meat thermometer

Directions

  1. First, preheat your Pit Boss Grill to 400°F.
  1. While your grill is heating up, coat the chicken legs/thighs on all sides with a thin layer of olive oil, followed by your favorite BBQ rub. For this recipe, we used Pit Boss Maple Chipotle BBQ Rub.
  1. Once the chicken has been seasoned, place it, breast side up, directly on the grill grates. We recommend placing it on the top rack of your smoker if possible.
  1. Cook to an internal temperature of 165°F, rotating every 10 mins for even color.
  1. Remove from the smoker and let rest for 10-15 mins.
  1. Once your chicken has rested, prepare your meal prep containers by portioning 1 cup of steamed rice, followed by 5 oz. steamed broccoli, and 1 chicken leg and thigh.
  1. Make sure all contents in your containers have cooled completely before covering and placing in the fridge. You can then store this meal prep recipe in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, reheating as needed.
  1. To reheat, place the chicken and broccoli meal prep container into the microwave and reheat for 1-2 minutes uncovered, in a microwave-safe container.
  1. Enjoy!

Recipe Note

Cool down: Allow your steamed rice to cool completely before storing it in the fridge. To help it cool faster, try placing it into a shallow pan, allow it to cool to room temp, stirring occasionally, then placing in the fridge uncovered until it's colder than 40 degrees.
