Ingredients
- chicken breast300g
- basmati rice150g, uncooked
- olive oil2 tbsp
- avocado1
- soy sauce1 tbsp
Method
- Cook the rice according to packet instructions — 150g dry rice needs about 300ml of water and 12-15 minutes.
- Butterfly the chicken breasts (slice horizontally almost all the way through and open like a book) so they cook evenly. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 74°C, juices run clear). Rest for 3 minutes, then slice.
- Halve, stone and dice the avocado.
- Layer the rice in a large bowl, top with the sliced chicken and avocado, and drizzle with soy sauce.
- This is a genuinely big meal at around 1500 kcal — if that's more than your target, the portion scaler will size it down, or split it into two meals.
Meal-prep noteCook a double or triple batch of rice and chicken on Sunday — this is one of the best batch-cook bulking meals.

lab measurement. Prices are rough per-serving estimates for UK supermarkets and vary by store and
