Ingredients
- 1 pound ground chicken breast (98% lean)
- 1.5 cup liquid egg whites
- 1 can black beans (15 oz can, rinsed and drained)
- 12 ounce riced cauliflower
- 1 zucchini (medium, diced)
- 1 red bell pepper (medium, diced)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mild chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add 1 pound ground chicken breast, 1 teaspoon mild chili powder, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Sauté for 5 minutes, breaking the chicken into crumbles, until cooked through.
- Add 12 ounces riced cauliflower, 1 diced zucchini, 1 diced red bell pepper, and 1 can rinsed black beans to the skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Push the chicken and vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour 1 1/2 cups liquid egg whites into the empty side.
- Scramble the egg whites gently with a spatula for 2 minutes until soft curds form, then fold everything in the skillet together until uniformly mixed and heated through.
- Divide evenly among 4 individual meal prep containers and let cool slightly before covering.
