Meal Prep Ideas
To speed up meal prep, roast more chicken than you need to last throughout the week. By stocking up on our quick rice varieties, such as Minute® Ready to Serve White Rice or Brown Rice, you’ll have something quick to bring for lunch throughout the week.

Repurposing leftovers is another way save time and money at mealtime. Once you know how to make egg fried rice, we’re sure you’ll be making extra rice just so you have an excuse to reinvent that rice!
Toppings
Freshly chopped cilantro goes perfectly with curry dishes. If you don’t have any on hand, top with a bit of dried coriander.
Coconut and raisins are also great additions to this creamy curry. If you can’t find toasted coconut in the store, toast it yourself. Simply spread shredded coconut on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 325°F for 6-8 minutes, stirring halfway, until fragrant and golden brown.
