Simple stuff! Grilled chicken thighs with red rice, refried beans, and corn, plus chopped cilantro and scallions on the side.
* **Chicken**: Season 1-1.5 lbs (500-700g) of boneless, skinless thighs with salt and pepper then light the grill. [Grill on high heat until 165-170F internal temp](https://imgur.com/a/Gf4VJCp). Enjoy a cool drink while flippin’ your chicken. (It was still kinda hot outside.) * **Rice**: I cheated and used a Badia brand red Sazón. I used 1 tsp. for 1.5 c of rice, but half that much probably would’ve been plenty (oops). * **Beans**: Heat two 16 oz cans of refried beans and season them as you like. They come with plenty of salt so probably don’t need that. I sauteed half an onion in the pan before adding the beans. * **Corn**: It’s frozen corn. Open the bag.
That’s it!
Add it to your containers, then pull them back out of the fridge [because you forgot to add the corn](https://imgur.com/a/LjYreP7). Add the cilantro and scallions at lunch time, after reheating (it’s fine to add them at prep time, I don’t always put them in a separate container).

Chief that frozen corn isn’t precooked. It’ll be much better cooked. Easier to digest, easier to get nutrients etc
