Meal Prep and Plan with Roast Chicken
Follow this step-by-step guide to prepare Roast Chicken with Vegetables, Egg Bites, and Dill Dip with Vegetable Sticks efficiently in just over an hour.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep & Roast Chicken & Vegetables (~10 min prep, ~45 min cook)
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (360°F).
- Season the chicken with your preferred spices and place it in a baking tray or roasting dish.
- Chop vegetables evenly, toss with oil and seasoning, and spread them around the chicken.
- Place in the oven and roast for approximately 45 minutes (approx. 20minutes per 500g/1lb)
Step 2: Prep & Bake Egg Bites (~10 min prep, ~20 min cook, overlaps with chicken roasting)
- Chop the bacon and tomato into small pieces.
- In a bowl, whisk eggs, seasoning, and mix in spinach lightly.
- Grease a muffin tin, then pour in the egg mixture evenly.
- Place in the oven (alongside the chicken) and bake for ~20 minutes or until set.
Step 3: Make the Dill Dip & Prep Vegetable Sticks (~10 min)
- Mix all dill dip ingredients in a bowl, then transfer to single-serve containers.
- Wash, peel, and slice vegetable sticks (e.g., carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers).
- Store veggie sticks in a container for easy snacking.
Step 4: Remove Egg Bites & Check Chicken (~5 min)
- Once the egg bites are set and golden, remove them from the oven and let them cool.
- Check the chicken – if fully cooked (internal temp ~160°F/69°C), remove from the oven. Otherwise, allow it to finish cooking.
Step 5: Assemble & Store (~10 min)
- Let the roast chicken rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing or shredding.
- Portion roasted vegetables into meal prep containers.
- Pack egg bites into containers for an easy grab-and-go meal.
