Apricot Chicken Meal Prep | The Best Meal Prep Recipe So Far

[@shaheedahamilton5443]

I wanted to make this for dinner tonight but couldn't find the apricot nectar at the stores I shop. However, there was pineapple nectar and mango nectar available. I did half and half of each, added some finely chopped ginger, and some worcestershire sauce and it was amazing. I also used chicken breast instead of thighs. Your recipes are all easy to follow and quite delicious. As always, thank you for sharing.

I love the fact that Chef Jack never wasted anything and he makes all his recipes so easy to follow. Thank you do much 👨‍🍳 👨‍🍳 👩‍🍳

[@mirceaasaftei3146]

Made this yesterday, used apricot jam with some water as I couldn't find nectar and noodles instead of couscous. Absolutely amazing 👌

[@Atwa12]

Made this today. Used Mango juice instead of apricot because i couldnt find any. Came out great! Love your meal preps!

[@Bmoseley85]

I have enjoyed a number of your recipes for meal prep. So far this is my favorite. Keep up the great work!

[@suemacdonald4480]

I did this for dinner, everyone loved it. This will be a regular dinner at my home!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Amazing! Glad you enjoyed it

[@kennisc8902]

Love this recipe mate and the macro info is very helpful. Great job 👍😊

[@ChefJackOvens]

Cheers 🙌

[@catfish4782]

I love your prep recipes but as I live in Spain I prefer using olive oil in my cooking. I’m always worried about serving a dish made with peanut oil in case someone is allergic to peanuts. ❤️u

[@keybearer26]

Try avocado oil or grape seed oil, they have a high smoke point like peanut oil as well

[@DMDBOTH]

Both good points!

[@DaSoto21500]

I use olive oil as well, simply because I’m cheap and don’t wanna buy more expensive oil😂

[@AvoIsHere]

what about people alergic to olives

[@DMDBOTH]

@@AvoIsHere What about them?!!

[@YazzyDFS]

I love all your meal prep videos. I actually so far made all of them and they are super yummy. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@henrymichal8522]

Great meal prep Jack. Well balanced as well. The macros are a real bonus. Gold star for you mate. Thank you.

[@CameronGaskell]

Would love to see a slow cooker type recipe for the meal prep series :)

[@terriarheghan3676]

You never fail to kick it up a notch!👍🏽

[@heartylara7843]

I did the honey chicken pajitas and my daughter love it. Now i will make this one. Thank u

[@TheMarsBarrex]

This is a winner, Chef. I've made this twice so far. I will say using apricot jam made it more flavorful. Love your channel and attention to detail in every recipe. Keep up the good work!

[@Golden_Girl003]

Thanks chef Jack, I always come to your Chanel when I’m struggling to know what to cook for dinner 🍲

[@traceybradshaw]

Apricot chicken! This used to be on my regular meal rotation 20-30 years ago. Keen to give it a try with cous cous or quinoa and veggies instead of the old white rice combo.

[@josh5001]

Made this tonight and it was delicious. The white pepper is such a good addition. I also added some red capsicum and it turned out excellent. Definitely adding this to my repertoire. Thanks Jack.

[@samuelmoore657]

Love your videos! would you be able to do a meal prep idea for construction workers? Thanks

[@FriendsFamilyKitchen]

It looks so appetizing and already drooling ❤I could almost smell it!❤Thanks for sharing ❤stay connected❤

[@howardbaldwin1226]

Apricot chicken is one of my all-time favs Jack. I cant wait to give your version a go! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from AKL, NZL.

[@WhyAllTheHayte]

Love these dude. Can you try making one for 15 meals? I love that I can make 3 different meal preps for the week but man does it take most of my day off to make it happen. Maybe make a video about how to prep for breakfast/lunch/dinner while having variety but maximizing efficiency? Just a thought, would love to see what you could come up with! Again, thanks for these!

[@karaowens6937]

So glad I came across your channel! Been looking for some simple and healthy meal prep ideas without 50 ingredients! I hope you will continue to post :)

[@linasanti5214]

Thank you so much for the teach me cooking and yummy foods

[@ChefJackOvens]

My pleasure 😊

[@nickmcgrath2757]

Thanks for the recipe brother, your videos are always so clear and concise.

[@rdl8878]

Today, for the first time, I grated my garlic. You’re right…it really brings out an intense garlic flavour. It was like tasting garlic for the first time. It took my pork dumplings to a whole new level.

[@54als]

Made this recipe today, truly amazing, in my meal i put a bit of curry on the chicken and it turned out to be very good!

[@jozefdonoghue]

The best meal prep on youtube!

[@evehsv5556]

Wow I cook my apricot chook so different to your recipe Jack lol. I use the good old nectar, French onion soup and flour but I roast my chicken but it has to have skin it has so much more flavour but I will give your method a go thanks Chef. 😊

[@sorter9590]

I just tried this. You saved my week. Much love!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Glad I could help!

[@lynnrushton7458]

Mmmm yum! I hear a hint of Aussie twang now & again Jack! 😉😂🇦🇺

[@riley1817]

I made this a week ago and it was very delicious with great macros but surprisingly low in calories. Good one!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Great to hear! Glad you enjoyed it

[@RoyShouriMustango]

Amazing way to start the week!

[@ChefJackOvens]

🙌🙌

[@annemeinke1842]

I wonder if you could do this with port tenderloin. Thanks for your meal prep videos. So useful!

[@jahbulonjaja191]

Great looking recipe as always Jack - not overly keen on couscous in this household but guessing it would be fine to serve with rice -thx

[@juliebrown7893]

Love the look of your meal prep containers which ones do you use? Food looks delicious as always

[@_TravelWithLove]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful recipes always !! Looks yummy 😋 !! Awesome !! How about only using organic ingredients? How about only using olive oil? How about potato starch instead of corn starch? Greetings from California … I wish you and folks good health, success and happiness !! Much Love ✌️😎💕

[@caboose3861]

Hey chef, made your Birria tacos recently and everybody loved them. Could you do some type of enchilada recipe? I've found all the current recipes difficult to follow as you have to get all these special chillies or spices that arent commonly available in most stores, so you have to order them ahead of time which is a bit of a hassle. Would love to see your version of it :)

[@suecameron934]

Is this ok to freeze?sorry just watched the end 😊

[@NilsnVan]

Sick! looks great def gonna have to try this one.

[@joanwalford1959]

Great recipe. Easy meal prep too.

[@maximdoesacro6772]

Love your videos! What's that kind of pan that you use to cook the broccoli and chicken?

[@ASIRI11]

MAN You save my dite with thise Great recipes

[@cherylmontagna6568]

What’s the name brand of the pots and pans you use.? Love your channel!

[@davidholden4526]

That's my favourite meal thanks chef 😋

[@markvasiloff2217]

Chef Jack. Where did you get what you referred to as a large wok or pan (that you threw your broccoli into)? It looks like it’s stainless and is very deep (and large). I like it.

[@scavange1610]

we do not have any sort of apricot nectar in my country, can change it for peaches?

[@mariebrowne4227]

Another one in my recipe box to use. Thank you!!!❤❤

[@smitajal9565]

Another amazing flavour....My cooking list is getting too too long😄 Thank you Chef Jack

[@Ekis86]

Hi! Could you please do a knife-collection video?

[@georgeibrahim7945]

Looks amazing

[@ChefJackOvens]

Cheers George. It’s absolutely delicious 🤤

[@irveats]

Ok this looks so good and easy to make! I'm giving this a go on my next meal prep!☺ ☺

[@bnk5503]

I love your videos man, really easy too be on a diet with your help. One question, do you wash the meat before using it?

[@yaladdin3594]

Chef Jack this is amazing! I luvv it thank you so much again! I am gonna cook this tomorrow but I found apricot jam at my store, is it okay if I mix it with water?

[@Avawa511]

You're such a blessing ❤

[@okapibibi]

I appreciate your videos a lot, the instructions are clear and easy to follow, which is essential for a beginning cook like myself! I would like to know the size of your containers! I don't want to accidentally eat less protein :)

[@sabrinascarsella8325]

Gonna try it, It's sure (already try 4 recipes of yours and love it)! But I want to know can we replace the couscous by quinoa?

[@johanneslandgrebe2045]

another banger video

[@user-xs3qz1vj2t]

Very good recipes 👌

[@Oisin2]

Looks like a great recipe

[@fabianschweitzer]

Is there a reason to why you always use white instead of black pepper to season? Are the interchangeable?

[@ChefJackOvens]

you can use either or. I use white pepper for a lighter colour in the food

[@weedoja1461]

Hey Jack. First of all I love your videos I been watching you even tho I am not subbed to your channel. And I was wondering since I come from a low income country could you do cheap meal preps for cutting? I been trying to lose weight for the past year but I never had a proper diet. If you could I would appricate it a lot to help me achive my goals. Much love.

[@dimbazzzz]

Yay! New recipe! Currently eating cream mushroom chicken and this one will be next. Quick question though: is it ok if apricot nectar will be with honey, because it's the only one I can find in my area?

[@richsmart321]

Chef Jack does it again! Another blinding recipe I cannot wait to try! Well done fella. Am gradually converting friends & family to cooking your recipes!

[@adinaderoy-stouffer5724]

That looks great, definitely making it this week. What meal prep containers you use? I’ve had bad luck with freezing

[@aljocammo765]

Hey dude. I hope when you get back from Sydney there is a pie 🥧 on the menu.

[@omccann0991]

does cous cous freeze well?

[@josh5001]

Chef Jean-Pierre would call you a 'Ding-Dong' for the way you used the microplane on the lemon, but you caught yourself so you probably get a pass 😂

[@ChefJackOvens]

I always do it like that but I’m well aware it’s designed for the other way round haha 😂

[@ArifSondani]

Can we replace the apricot juice with other fruit juice like apple or orange juice for example? I know it would change the recipe name literally but, can it?

[@ChefJackOvens]

I wouldn’t recommend apple juice and if you’re wanting an orange chicken, I have a recipe for that🙌

[@ArifSondani]

@@ChefJackOvens Thanks chef!

[@youtubewhenbored728]

I’m using peach nectar lol

[@dnmurphy48]

Can't stand cous cous, but I guess Bulgar would work as well? The meal looks lovely apart form the cous cous

[@ChefJackOvens]

Cheers. The cous cous is optional. You can serve it with whatever you like 👌

[@ALI95R]

Any one know the size of the containers? (Dimensions/volume)

[@ChefJackOvens]

They’re 750ml 🙌

[@ALI95R]

@@ChefJackOvens thanks mate, new to the channel but love the videos 👍

[@sighcandy]

I'm at the ass end of cooking this up and I love apricot chicken so really looking forward to it, if this damned sauce will simmer down... Next time I'm going rice though, cous cous is just a hassle

[@lepsychiatre8455]

sorry, but how is apricot juice low in sugar? i think you are mistaken there

[@ChefJackOvens]

It’s no added sugar and it’s natural.

right hand to god, you are the cream of the fucking crop Mr. Chef Ovens!

Jack your dishes are spot on mate keep it going

[@shadows7936]

Ah and here I was thinking what the hell should I do with my couscous, thanks

[@manfredschroter3740]

Love your delicios recepies. Just a friendly hint: when you are giving the nutrition facts, it should be KILO calories, not only calories.

[@Sidneymaster]

No offense, but some of your macros make no sense.. 60 gram of couscous alone is already well over the 119 kcal you detail our in the video.. add in the oil and the couscous is part is more like 250kcal alone.

[@Sidneymaster]

I will add the recipe looks delicious, but for someone on a cut the kcal matter a lot and I got really excited for a minute about this as a good addition to my lunch options

[@deborahstevens9587]

This became a thing in the 70s. Didn't like it as a kid, still don't like it haha

[@ChefJackOvens]

Trust me on this recipe, it will change your mind. It’s not strong in apricot flavour

[@thepyt1]

Anybody ask k Michelle how Angela yee made her feel?

[@peejayfromhell]

Macros for the Couscous are wrong. 300g of dry Couscous is over 1000kcal alone, around 1200kcal with added oil, 5 portions, so its around 250kcal per portion

[@ChefJackOvens]

There’s your key word, DRY cous cous. Calories change when cooked

[@peejayfromhell]

@@ChefJackOvens oh come on Chief... 2:07 you are adding 300g of dry couscous, you said that yourself. Of course the cooked couscous will be less calorie dense per /100g as it's gonna absorb the broth. Doesn't change the fact that you are using 300g of Dry couscous with 20g of oil which is around 1200kcal then you divide it between 5 containers, so one portion of it is around 250 kcal

[@ChefJackOvens]

@@peejayfromhell yea dry cous cous and cooked cous cous are two different calorie amounts. The calories are in the video for the cooked amounts. Lots of people don’t understand that things change when cooked

[@peejayfromhell]

@@ChefJackOvens ok but that would mean that only half of the couscous goes into meal prep containers. The macros you show would be OK if you were dividing the entire pot into 10 portions

[@ChefJackOvens]

@peejayfromhell that’s not how it works.
