Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. coconut oil
  • 4 x 130g chicken breast
  • 350g sweet potato
  • 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1 bag fresh spinach
  • 350g green beans (trimmed)
  • Sprinkle of chosen spices (try a different one on each breast to switch up the flavours – we like Italian herb, paprika, barbecue, lemon and herb, and chilli seasoning)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
  2. Firstly, start by cutting your sweet potatoes into wedges and place onto a baking tray. Season with salt, pepper and paprika, then bake for 25 minutes.
  3. Boil the kettle and place the trimmed green beans in a bowl. Pour boiling water over the green beans with a pinch of salt and allow to blanch for 1-2 minutes (do not cook fully in order to retain nutrient value).
  4. Place the chicken breast on a griddle or large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and cook until brown on one side, then flip the chicken over and flavour each breast with spices of choice
  5. Once chicken is thoroughly cooked place on a board to rest and cool.
  6. Drain the green beans from the salted water.
  7. Once all ingredients have cooled make up the the meal boxes. Add 2 handfuls of spinach, scoop of wedges, green beans and a chicken breast to each box.
  8. Store in an airtight container in the fridge, then microwave for 3-4 minutes or until piping hot.
