I’m really enjoying these, the only thing I would add are calorie counts for the over all meal and the individual meals

[@ChefJackOvens]

I’ll get it sorted for next weeks episode

[@smitajal9565]

Really appreciate how you mention every little detail, different options and the new addition of nutritional guide...and rightly said, we all are different and like things our way ... I have some chicken in the freezer and thanks to you,, i have a new recipe.... Thank you so much my fav Chef Jack... You really rock.... Take care dear..and stay blessed always 💕💕💕💕

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you, Smita! I’m so glad you always enjoy all the little details. Please enjoy this recipe. Take care and stay safe 😊🙏

@@ChefJackOvens I can only agree with Samita. Also I like that you use the measurement in Metric and Imperial system. Good job!

I just finished cooking this for my father’s lunches this week and made a small two spoon plate for myself to taste. I’m in love. Tastes so gorgeous and the refried beans were even better than I thought. Two hours of prep, cooking and cleaning but I’m a happy gal.

[@maxmarks3503]

I've made this one multiple times and absolutely love it each time!

[@noad9977]

Tip after cooking this dish for the 3rd time: 1. Use +1 bell pepper 2. fry the chicken after you fried the vegetables. This gives you better control over the tenderness and avoids too much water in the pan 3. Maybe add an addtional can of beans as dividing it into 5 portions is a bit too less food for me.

[@katiestockley5984]

Thanks!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Really appreciate how you not only teach us how to do the recipe but also how to cook it. These details are so important especially for beginners and it makes it less intimidating. I'm really looking forward to Mealprep Mondays now. Thank you!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you! Glad it’s helpful

[@widowkeeper4739]

I highly recommend that folks look for Mexican oregano as opposed to Italian oregano for a more authentic flavor -- There is a difference in taste and it's highly worth it to try and get! Check your ethnic food section at your local grocery, check a grocery that caters to and is often patroned by Mexican people, or order it online.

[@kingdanett4043]

What we used to do at Papa Murphys to cut peppers is to press the stem into the pepper with both thumbs and then take it out and shake out the seeds. It makes it super easy to get as much of the pepper as possible and is kinda fun.

[@ChefJackOvens]

Good idea!

[@trippnorris8882]

Loving meal prep Mondays! Cutting across the grain of the chicken … a tip I’ve never heard before. The olive oil on top of guacamole is brilliant! Love the tips you include. Can’t wait to try this one.

[@roadworkahead6368]

quick tip: use roma tomatoes for guac and take the inner part out. This helps reduce excess moisture. Also, add some lemon juice. I do not use lime as its a little tart and acidic while lemon is still acidic but a tad sweeter. Another great thing is to just make pico de gallo and then when you have avocados on hand you can mix them together for guac.

[@CoolGuy-qn2nw]

I’m really liking this series, thanks for all the recipes!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Happy to hear! It’s a pleasure 😊

[@danielperes3667]

Bro I really loved this recipe, tried switching up the chicken for turkey breast and added a tablespoon of sour cream on top of the beans and it turned out amazing. I really appreciate this vídeos so keep making them and I'll keep watching them.

[@Grigorgale]

Having made tons of Gauc. I recommend leaving the tomato out because it adds alot of extra moisture to the gauc

[@fragile1143]

first video ive seen of you, and insta subbed. Really high quality video of a just simple, well thought out, meal prep!

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you so much. Glad you enjoyed it

[@metalfortanks]

This looks amazing! Always been intimidated by meal prepping but this really makes me want to give it a go. Not sure if I missed it but I'd love to see the calorie count for the whole batch included so I could split it up into smaller portions to have alongside other things I make. YUM!

Hey Jack! The nutrition guide is a really nice addition to your videos and the food looks great as usual. I really appriciate the time you take to be pedagogical and actually teach us what to do and think about when cooking without making it a boring process. The balance between entertainment and learning is just right. I'm totally saving your meal prep videos on a list for future use. :D

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you so much!!

[@mauz791]

You have improved your editing, nutritional information, and convenience for your recipes. Great work! Also this is really good meal prep. No need for bland white rice and overcooked chicken breast when this satisfies the macros, tastes good and has fibre as well. Personally, I like to have some roasted capsicum with roasted onions as a sweet addition as well. But it's hard to find a fault with this recipe, it's that good 👍

[@ChefJackOvens]

Thank you so much

[@clippert11]

I made this yesterday for the week ahead. I found that there wasn't enough beans for my personal taste so I topped the dish up with home made Mexican rice. I've just has my first portion along with half a tub of shop bought guacamole and all I can say is that this is truly delicious. I'm really looking forward to lunch for the rest of the week. Cheers Jack.

[@Shannon627]

Don’t the beans count as a carb? so that would mean with the rice that meal would have 2 portions of carbs and wouldn’t necessarily be a low calorie meal

[@clippert11]

@@Shannon627 yeah, it would mean that but the beans ended up being quite a small portion so I see them both together as one portion. I used kidney beans so 20% protein in the beans. I've lost 16lbs in the last two weeks doing meal prep and of course some exercise. Gives a lot of structure to your eating knowing you already have delicious food at home, no excuse to go buy and eat rubbish food 😀

Well done Jack This meal prep has more than one vegetable I have a Hiatus Hernia so I will have to omit the lime juice, chilli powder and Jalapenos because I can't have chilli, hot and spicy food citrus fruits or vinegar.

Mexican here, try your guacamole this way: Take you aguacate and put in a bowl, smash it to get a pasta, take you second aguacate, and before taking off the peel, use a knife to carve little cubes in the aguacate, take a spoon and take off the pulp, mix it with the rest of the guacamole, add tomato, cilantro and lemon... ENJOY. PRO TIP: You can put a little of water, salt and some chiles in a blender to get an "agua chile" and mix it with the rest of your guacamole.
