Step-by-Step Instructions and Preparation Tips
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place chicken thighs on a baking sheet and season generously with salt.
- Add small pieces of butter on top of the chicken.
- Bake for 35–45 minutes until fully cooked and lightly browned.
- While the chicken cooks, bring a pot of water to a boil.
- Hard-boil 12 eggs for 10–11 minutes, then cool and peel.
- Scramble the remaining eggs in butter over medium heat until just set.
- Steam frozen broccoli according to package instructions and drain well.
- Shred cheddar cheese into meal-sized portions.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice or portion whole.
- Divide chicken, eggs, broccoli, cheese, and extra butter evenly into containers.
- Allow meals to cool before sealing and refrigerating.
Preparation Tips
- Leave chicken skin on if using bone-in thighs for extra fat.
- Drain broccoli thoroughly to avoid watery containers.
- Slightly undercook scrambled eggs so they reheat better.
- Use butter both in cooking and as a finishing fat.
- Keep cheese separate if you prefer adding it after reheating.
