    I have been wanting to share another meal prep recipe with you here for a while! Plus
    this isn’t just any old meal prep. It’s Whole30, paleo, and gluten free! But certainly not taste free!
    My meal prep game has been on point recently with being SO busy with house projects that I simply
    don’t have time after work to prep meals for lunch every day. Meal prepping for 3-4 days out has helped
    SO much. And I also love to make recipes that include all components of a healthy meal.

    Because let’s rewind to 50lbs ago where I was scouring the internet for healthy meals. Notice I didn’t say
    “healthy recipes”. Back in 2010 when I got serious about my healthy journey. I had ZERO clue where to
    start. Like I had no idea what preservatives were and that all the Smart Ones meals I was eating daily
    were not smart. I simply wanted someone to tell me what goes with chicken other than another carb. I
    had no idea what to pair anything with that was healthy. Am I making sense?

    So when I develop recipes now, I like to include what I am actually eating with the chicken or propose
    healthy sides that balance the meal. I.e. protein, healthy carbs, greens, healthy fats.
    I also like to make meal prep pretty seamless. And this Whole30 Moroccan Spiced Chicken with
    Cauliflower Rice all goes on a sheet pan and into the oven and in the containers in less than 45 minutes!
    Ever since I got these chicken drum sticks from my last Moink shipment I knew they screamed “meal
    prep post”….This happens a lot now that I am a food blogger. I see something and I automatically know
    what recipe it will be for the blog. In other words, I am crazy.

    I generously seasoned the chicken with harissa spice ( I found it at World Market) , avocado oil, salt,
    pepper, lemon juice, and cumin. I used store bought cauliflower rice (Trader Joe’s) to make it even
    quicker. And chopped up a few peppers, an onion, and some carrots.
    I threw everything on a sheet pan and roasted it. DONE.

    And I honestly don’t think I could make meal prep any simpler than that. This made 4 great lunches that
    can be enjoyed hot or cold. I topped the cold versions with a little cucumber and tomato salad plus a
    fresh squeeze of lemon for more zest.
    So SO good. Even Jake couldn’t get enough! And he isn’t that big of a fan of drum sticks.
    I love them and think they are the perfect portion size for these meal prep containers. How cute and
    practical?!

      What kind of parchment paper do you use? It looked corrugated. The recipe looks simple and delish. Right up my alley.

        Hi Cassie! Thanks for stopping by! I typically buy the generic brand from Target or Walmart. But for food photography purposes I bought the natural looking parchment paper at Trader Joe's for this photo shoot 🙂
