I saved the best for last! Okay that’s not fair, they’re all the best. This one was Austin’s (my husband) favorite, though! These chicken, sweet potato, and Brussels sprout bowls with a lemon dill cream sauce are filling, incredibly tasty, and won’t make you miss eggs for breakfast.

Truth be told, I photographed these breakfast bowls at about 4:00 p.m., so they also became our dinner that night. After polishing off TWO of these bowls, my husband told me that he’d like me to “please write that recipe down!” Rounding out my 3-part egg-free breakfast bowl series, the flavors in this bowl are both bold and refreshing.

In case you missed them, be sure to check out the Bison + Plantain + Kale Bowl and the Chorizo + Potato + Roasted Pepper Bowl!

As with the other two bowl recipes, this one also includes a tasty protein, filling starchy vegetable, fiber & vitamin/mineral-packed vegetable, and a delicious sauce to bring it all together. I wrote the recipes for these bowls so that they’re “meal prep” (or “batch cook”) friendly! If you want to make a week of ready-to-go meals for your fridge or a MONTH of pre-portioned frozen breakfasts, just double the ingredients below to your liking and store in individual containers. The sauce on this chicken bowl actually helps preserve the texture of the food through freezing (if applicable) and re-heating.

    Does this freeze well? I know that most of your meals do but I just want to make sure (0:

    I had issues with the sauce – it was very very liquidy – any recommendations?

    Meal prepped this for breakfast this week. Awesome idea! I did a balsamic glaze instead of the dill sauce and YUM! Question: do you think the dill sauce would work with almond milk instead of coconut milk?

    If you froze these how do you suggest reheating them? I would think that the microwave would make the Brussels mushy.

      We suggest reheating in a skillet to help things “crisp” back up. -Team FF
