Ingredients You’ll Need

Every building block in these Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls has a role to play—think tender golden potatoes, marinated chicken, and fluffy eggs all united by a crave-worthy sauce. Here’s what goes into making a powerhouse bowl that wins breakfast all week long.

• Baby Gold Potatoes: Their creamy texture and bite-sized shape make them ideal for roasting and adding wholesome substance to your bowls.
• Bell Peppers (any color): These provide a burst of color and a juicy sweetness that balances the smoky and spicy elements in the dish.
• Yellow Onion: Roasted for mellow flavor and subtle caramelized edges, which play so well with the potatoes and peppers.
• Olive Oil: Just a touch gives the veggies perfect roastiness—don’t skip it!
• Garlic Powder: Adds aromatic warmth and quietly amps up the veggie mix.
• Salt and Pepper: Essential basics that make every ingredient sing.
• Ground Chicken: Tender and lean, it picks up all the fabulous flavors from the smoky chipotle-pineapple sauce.
• Pineapple in 100% Juice: Infuses the chicken with juicy, bright sweetness and keeps it extra moist.
• Chipotle Peppers in Adobo: The key to the smoky, slightly spicy kick that makes these bowls pop.
• Garlic: Four whole cloves for bold aromatic depth—your kitchen will smell amazing.
• Spices (Kosher Salt, Ground Cumin, Dried Oregano, Ground Cinnamon, Ground Cloves): These layer on earthy, warm, and lightly sweet notes for irresistible balance.
• Eggs: Eighteen in total! They’re scrambled gently for silky protein and satisfying texture.
• Cooking Spray, Oil, or Butter: A little fat keeps your eggs fluffy and makes for easy cleanup.

Variations

Don’t be shy about tweaking these Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls to match what’s in your fridge or your latest cravings. They’re super flexible and play nicely with a huge range of ingredients and flavors!

• Sausage-Style Chicken: Instead of chipotle and pineapple, season the ground chicken with classic breakfast sausage spices for a hearty spin.
• Make It Vegetarian: Swap the chicken for black beans or plant-based “meat” crumbles and skip the chicken prep—just season and sauté with the same sauce for big flavor.
• Low-Carb Friendly: Replace the potatoes with roasted cauliflower florets or sautéed zucchini to lighten things up.
• Egg-Free Bowls: Scrambled tofu or chickpea “egg” makes a tasty plant-based swap if you’re avoiding eggs.

How to Make Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls

Step 1: Roast the Veggies

Start by preheating your oven to a hot 450ºF. Toss your quartered baby gold potatoes with a bit of olive oil and seasoning, then spread them out on your sheet pan and bake for 15 minutes. Next, bring in your chopped peppers and onions—they get tossed in more olive oil and garlic powder for an aromatic boost, then added to the pan with the potatoes. Roast everything together for another 25 to 30 minutes, stirring halfway, until your kitchen smells amazing and the veggies are perfectly golden at the edges.

Step 2: Make the Smoky Chipotle Chicken

While your veggies become golden, get your largest skillet sizzling over medium-high heat and add the ground chicken. Brown it undisturbed for a few minutes to build flavor, then break it up and cook until just done. Meanwhile, blend pineapple (juice and all!), chipotle peppers, garlic, and spices in a food processor until you have a lush, spicy-sweet sauce. Pour the sauce over your chicken, bring to a simmer, and let the whole pan gently bubble while the sauce thickens and every morsel gets infused with flavor.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

Heat your favorite nonstick skillet over medium-low and coat it with a little cooking spray, oil, or butter. Pour in the beaten eggs and gently stir, scraping the pan so the eggs cook up fluffy and soft (and never rubbery). Once they’re just barely set, pull them off the heat—the bowl’s heat will finish them perfectly.

Step 4: Assemble the Breakfast Bowls

Divide your juicy chipotle chicken, perfectly scrambled eggs, and roasted veggies evenly into eight containers or bowls. Each gets a balanced portion so you’ll be set for the week! When you’re ready, customize with your favorite garnishes and sides for Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls that are anything but boring.

How to Serve Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls

Garnishes

Dive into the fun of topping your Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls! Scatter on chopped fresh cilantro for herby freshness, crumble on tangy cotija cheese, or add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for creamy coolness. For a pop of heat and color, a drizzle of hot sauce or salsa macha finishes things off beautifully.

Side Dishes

While these bowls are filling on their own, they’re extra satisfying with some warm corn tortillas, a little bowl of fresh fruit, or a side of sliced avocado. If you’re feeling fancy, serve alongside black beans or a small, crisp green salad to round out the meal.

Creative Ways to Present

For entertaining or Sunday brunch, set up a “build your own bowl” bar so everyone can customize with their favorite toppings and sides. Layer the components in clear jars for a pretty, portable meal, or present in colorful bowls with each topping artfully arranged for a restaurant-worthy look that will make mornings feel downright special.

Make Ahead and Storage

Storing Leftovers

These Healthy Meal Prep Breakfast Bowls stay fresh and flavorful for up to 4 days when stored in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Keep garnishes and toppings in a separate small container for the best texture when serving.

Freezing

You can freeze the chicken, veggies, and eggs in individual portions for up to 2 months. Let them cool completely before packing into freezer-safe containers. For best results, freeze the components separately and combine them after reheating.

Reheating

Microwave each bowl until warmed through (usually 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway). For best texture, reheat the eggs and chicken gently so they stay moist—add garnishes fresh just before enjoying.
