- Turn off the heat and leave covered for 4 minutes to steam.
- Fluff the rice with a fork, then mix in the lime zest and juice, coriander, black beans and corn kernels. Set aside.
- Heat a pan over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 74°C (165°F).
- Rest the chicken for 5 minutes, then slice or dice it.
- Grate the cheese, slice the cherry tomatoes and dice the red onion.
- Divide the rice among 5 x 750 ml meal prep containers. Top with the chicken and grated cheese. Keep the remaining toppings, yogurt and lime wedges separate, or add them fresh.
