Cook 1 and 1/3 cup of basmati rice in the instant pot or on the stove according to package instructions.

Slice three bell peppers of different colors and set aside on a large baking sheet.

Peel and thinly slice a large red onion and add it to the bell peppers on the baking sheet.

Drizzle a little olive oil over the veggies and season with sea salt, then mix with hands to coat.

Make space on the baking sheet for two large chicken breasts.

Mix 1 teaspoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, and sea salt and pepper to taste, then rub this mixture onto both sides of the chicken breasts.

Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven at 450°F for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

Once cooked, assemble the meal prep bowls by adding a quarter of the cooked rice, a quarter of the roasted veggies, and half a chicken breast to each bowl.

Drizzle everything with fresh lime juice and sprinkle with freshly chopped cilantro, repeating for a total of four bowls.

Store the meal prep bowls in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
