Love the macro card!! I am old and love the reference of an old school recipe card. Thanks so much great to screen shot quickly and print and is so easy to find now!! thanks!! Love all your videos .. your instructions are so thorough and content so complete and you answer my questions as you go. You are helping me learn to cook and inspiring me to
The macro cards are great!! incredibly useful for meal prep videos. Appreciate the effort you put behind it. I know it's not the easiest thing to do but the extra step you took makes a huge difference for people eating at a caloric limit.
I love the new macro cards! The put all the info in one easy-to-read spot. I just bought some chicken breasts yesterday, and I'm going to try this new recipe today. And I have to say, that is the most gigantic pepper I've ever seen! It was practically a red pumpkin.
I recommend using a bit starch for the chicken, it helps contain the moisture inside and especially helps when you plan on freezing and reheating. Also a bit of baking soda to get it even more tender. Can you really freeze Guacamole?
Maybe I'm misinformed about diabetes but aren't sugars effectively interchangeable with carbs in terms of diabetics and their blood sugar? Entirely possible that I'm missing something though
This was nice and easy, I went further and spiced up the chicken more by adding garam masala, lime juice and soy sauce at the end. Feels a bit dry but great for meal prep lunch box for work 👍
the macro card has the all-so-needed serving SIZE now which lacked in many videos. You used to say "per serving" without specifying what size the serving was. Very important to say the least. Nice. Vit A/C and sodium is not needed on the card in my opinion tho. Sodium is something people will adjust themselves and not follow blindly (I hope).
That chicken fajita bowl looks incredible. Love the idea of meal prepping a healthy and flavorful dish. The homemade guacamole is a must-try. Have you experimented with different protein options? Also, any tips for making the fajita seasoning extra spicy?
Hurrah! Finally, the true guacamole recipe! Just one question, how do you avoid your guacamole turning brownish (oxidating) when storing it for more than a few hours? I'm struggling with this, even when storing it in a air-tight container.
Add a little oil over the top of it and place down some lemon slices. Works a charm. Its what I used to do in the restaurants with 10L buckets of guacamole
How would you go about using the meals you put on the freezer to get the best result and the least planning? I have started cooking and doing meal preps. So far I have only followed your recipes, and I'm happy with them, so than you. I still get overwhelmed as I don't have much experience or space, and I am also extreme perfectionist, apartment from the anxiety of not knowing what's the best way doing something, so it all becomes a bit much 😂 but your videos still have me motivated to keep going. I asked this question because I did the steak garlic bites meal, and using the meal was fine when taking them from the fridge but I didnt work out so well when I test it by using the freezer. I put the container in the microwave, the potatoes were kinda cold and mushy, but the meat was super overcooked and hot. Anyways good job and thank you.
Hey Chef, been following for a long time now. Just wondering if you’d be able to make some meal prep videos that are higher on the calories for those of us looking to gain weight? I feel like it’s something that’s commonly overlooked in the health and food industry. Keep up the great content!
This looks great Chef Jack. I might make this today as I have all the ingredients. You really did have a huge capsicum 😳 thanks for a great meal prep video. I’m making it for our dinner with left overs to have tomorrow.
Mr. Asbestos Fingers, the way you were handling the cookware. Does putting the avocado seed into guacamole stop it discolouring the same as it does with cut avocados when you put the seed back in the unused portion?
Love the new macro cards and I will definitely try this recipe, as I have with several others of yours. They're always good. I'd love to buy your book but the P&P to the UK is £9 which, even with the discount makes it a bit expensive. I'm sure it's worth it though and I'm thrilled for you that it's come out at last after all the work you put into it. Huge congratulations on making it happen.
Thank you very much. I've adopted a direct-to-community model for my book because purchasing directly from me is the best way to support my work! We aim to make my book accessible to everyone and work with our shipping partners to offer the best possible shipping rates for my community.
Thank you 🙏 3 days on the guac. One thing I forgot to mention is to pour a little olive oil on the top before storing to prevent oxidation. They can also be frozen too
Thank you so much! This book is all about cooking food I love and family favourites. No waste and everything has a purpose. While the meals in the book are not focused on meal prep, a majority of them can easily be put in a container and used for that purpose 🙌
As long as rice is stored and reheated correctly, it can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen. If you know you won't eat it within the 3 days, get it in the freezer as soon as possible. Yes, there is a concern about rice but it's also blown out of proportion with scare tactics. There's a reason supermarkets, gyms etc serve prepackaged meal preps with rice and so many other variations. Of course go with what you feel though. ive been cooking professionally for over 14 years now and never had an issue with rice or ever seen or heard of anyone with one.
I will never understand, how 450g of uncooked brown rice split into 5 will make 138 kcal pr serving. I make it out to more than 300. Could you elaborate on that calc?
@@AcKing1 it is about 350 kcal pr 100g of uncooked rice. They will absorb water, so yeah it makes sense that it would about a third for cooked rice. Even 180 grams of cooked rice would still be more than 200 kcal.
@@ChefJackOvensfair enough, but it still does not add up in my head. Maybe someone can explain to me what I am missing? I honestly think this is way off.
Didn’t work as intended. The audience is built on the main channel so keeping it here. 🙌 may try again one day but for now I’m building it back up here

Appreciate it! Thank you
As the one who works 7 days a day, 24 hours a week, and doesn't have much time to cook, these meal preps is a life saver. Thanks Chef!
Looks and sounds delicious! Macro cards are great! I love your channel your explain everything in a very quick and concise way. No waffling on 😄
Thanks so much! 😊

Can you really freeze Guacamole?
Ayyye coming in clutch as always 👌🏿🔥
You already know!
Love the meals you present and the way you do it.
As a diabetic I would love Sugar on the cards.
Maybe I'm misinformed about diabetes but aren't sugars effectively interchangeable with carbs in terms of diabetics and their blood sugar? Entirely possible that I'm missing something though
I can definitely add sugars in there if its helpful
47 gm of carbs per serving stated in nutrition facts at 08:51, there was no added sugar in the recipe
This was nice and easy, I went further and spiced up the chicken more by adding garam masala, lime juice and soy sauce at the end. Feels a bit dry but great for meal prep lunch box for work 👍

I’ve taken to popping the avocado seed into my guacamole or smashed avo and it very nicely keeps it from discolouring. Love the new macro card

Awesome meal prep that I will make for my husband and son for this coming week’s lunches. Thank you!
Sounds great! Enjoy
The chicken pat-pat was so cute 😂
Haha
I tried it and it is mad delicious. I brew the rice though, less water until it gets plump.

Sweet!
Just made it (WFH on Mondays, so Monday is meal prep day). I haven’t tried it yet but it smells delicious!
Wonderful! Please enjoy
I love your low cal/high protein meal preps!

The guacamole looked so fresh and yummy. On the cards when doing my next lot of freezer meals. Thanks Jack. X
Guacamole is so good! Can't beat the freshness. Thank you
Was just thinking what to cook, what a timing! Thanks like always man!
Any time mate!
great new nutrition cards, chef
Glad you like them
Looks fantastic !!! I will be making this soon !
Thanks Chef Jack 👍

Thank you, Joey! haha yeah it was a big one
@@ChefJackOvens this was a great tasty meal I’ve got to tell you. A winner ☝️
Love it. Thank you Chef!
Thank you 🙏
Mr. Asbestos Fingers, the way you were handling the cookware. Does putting the avocado seed into guacamole stop it discolouring the same as it does with cut avocados when you put the seed back in the unused portion?
Haha. The avocado seed won't help keep the guac from browning. Slices of lemon or lime help to cover the surface or a thin layer of olive oil
thank you for your content. really helpful.
Glad its helpful!
Love it.Thank you
Hi chef. Do you have any tips to reduce condensation on (plastic) meal prep containers when freezing leftovers ? Thanks!!
Love the new macro cards and I will definitely try this recipe, as I have with several others of yours. They're always good.

@@ChefJackOvens Thank you for replying to my comment. I'm going to go ahead and buy the book. It's the least I can do to support your work.
Great recipe, love the macro cards!
Thank you!
I just mealprepped for the week with your previous chicken fajita black beans video, lol
Haha this one is almost the same. I used a different cooking method for the chicken and veg though and of course didn’t serve it with black beans haha
Looks like the taste would be great but i prefer my veggies to be lightly stir fried for colour and texture
You can cook this however you like 🙌
I'm glad I have found your channel. I am trying to build muscle and the same meals have gotten boring.
Welcome!
I ❤ it. Will definitely try it.
Thank you and please enjoy
Thanks for the inspiration.
Youre welcome!
nice recipe idk about having raw meat near wood though.... what's the cleaning method ?
Looks amazing - as usual
Macros are great
Thank you!
Love the new macro cards
Great to hear. Still working on them to get them perfect but it’s going in the right direction
@@ChefJackOvens I agree. If I can think of something that could possibly help I’ll let you know!
Holding out for the digital edition of Dig In!
There’s no plans for a digital copy sorry 🙌
@@ChefJackOvens I'm not a paper book person anymore but there's always gifting!
Peter griffin likes it :)
Ah wish I saw this on Friday
You can watch it next Friday? haha
Grab one of those Steak Tongues man, and put the lime between its narrow edges, then squeeze, that will get the soul out of citruses.
The lime I used in this was so dry nothing was coming out no matter what I did haha
Another recipe! Nice!! 😊 BTW, how long can the guacamole be kept in the fridge?
Thank you 🙏 3 days on the guac. One thing I forgot to mention is to pour a little olive oil on the top before storing to prevent oxidation. They can also be frozen too
What's the best way to reheat this with the rice each day?
Microwave as explained in the video
Hi Jack what make of knife do you use? Thanks
Hey! I use koi knives. I have link in the description for them
I've preordered DIG IN. Are we going to see meal preps in the book?
Thank you so much! This book is all about cooking food I love and family favourites. No waste and everything has a purpose. While the meals in the book are not focused on meal prep, a majority of them can easily be put in a container and used for that purpose 🙌
What is that olive oil bottle you have, Jack?
Commenting for the algorithm 😂 this looks delicious
Appreciate it! Thank you
What size container are those? The 750mL or the 1.3L?
These ones are the 750ml
Hey, how are you? I want to know about your life journey. Please make a vlog.
Thanks Chef!
What do you think about storing/reheating rice? My fiancee worries about Bacillus cereus - any tips to allay her concern??

@@ChefJackOvens Appreciate the reply! Thanks Chef
Can I use white rice instead of brown?
Of course
If that pepper was any bigger you'd need to start charging it rent, goddamn
haha I know right. Sitting there like it owned the place
Delicious 😋😋😋😋
Thank you!
Something isnt right with that red bell pepper. That thing is freakishly huge!
Haha it was bulking
What type of Oregano is that? Mexican?
Holy cow! Where did that bell pepper come from!?
My regular supermarket haha. There was even bigger ones there but I tried to get the more reasonably sized one haha
@@ChefJackOvens I've never even seen one that big! Giggity.
I will never understand, how 450g of uncooked brown rice split into 5 will make 138 kcal pr serving. I make it out to more than 300. Could you elaborate on that calc?
Quick google says it's around 110-120kcal/100g, obv different per package but not sure where you're getting 300 from.
Everything is ran through my fitness pal and is researched through valuable sources before I make the macro cards.

1:30 i don't understand the whole thing with cilantro tasting like soap. i've tasted soap lol and it doesn't taste like soap.
I like extremely sharp knives and I cannot lie.
Who doesn’t haha
