    2 lbs chicken tenderloins, 1 tbsp olive oil, 4 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp lemon juice, 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1.5 tbsp Dijon mustard, 3 cloves garlic, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Place the chicken tenderloins in a large bowl or zip-top bag and pour the marinade over them, reserving 2-3 tablespoons for glazing later. Toss to coat, seal, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 4 hours).

  • Heat 2 tbsp of olive oil in a 12-inch jumbo cooker over medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and sear for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

  • Bring the reserved marinade to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Let cool, then drizzle over the plated dish for an extra punch of flavor.
  • Divide the cooked rice, roasted broccoli, and honey lemon chicken tenderloins into four meal prep containers with 2 lemon wedges in each. Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
