And here is one of my go-to daily low-carb meals:

Meal Prep Chicken and Veggies

3 Tbsp avocado oil, divided
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 large or two small sweet potatoes, chopped (800 g total)
3 large carrots, chopped
2 crowns broccoli
2 medium zucchini
Spices to taste. I like parsley, salt, pepper, cumin, garlic and onion powder, pepper flakes.
2-3 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, chopped

Instructions Chop the onion, sweet potato and carrots. Heat 2 tablespoons of the avocado oil in a large (SUPER large) skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, sweet potato and carrots. Stir well. Chop the broccoli and add it to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Add half of the seasonings and sea salt. Stir well. Chop the zucchini and add it to the skillet. Stir well. Once all of the vegetables are in the pot/skillet, cover and cook 5 minutes. Remove cover, stir and cook 3 minutes. Bite into one of the pieces of sweet potato and decide if you want to cook longer. Find the sweet spot of getting your sweet potatoes to be delightfully soft, but not mushy! Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil to a separate large pot and heat to medium-high. Add the raw chicken and seasonings. Allow the chicken to sit undisturbed for 3 minutes to brown. Stir chicken well, cover, and cook until chicken is cooked through, about 8 minutes. The chicken will need more time if it isn't thawed before cooking. Make sure to use a meat thermometer or just be extra careful! :) Remove the cover and drain any liquid from the pot. Fill meal prep bowls with chicken and vegetables, using your own discretion for portions of both. I like splitting the veggies into 5 containers and then adding one piece of chicken to each on top. Enjoy!
