This Spicy Almond Butter Chicken with Broccolini is beyond easy and super flavorful. It was one of those weeknight meals that I quickly threw together one night and it ended up being a family favorite. It comes together in less than 30 minutes and is healthy and oh so delicious.
This dish is perfect for busy weeknights because it can be whipped up in a jiffy! It’s also perfect for two-three people, which is great. However, if you are cooking for more than that, this recipe is very easily doubled.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes, most definitely! This is a great dish for meal prep because it can be made ahead of time and keeps in the fridge for 3-4 days. It also re-heats very nicely! I like to store in my glass meal prep containers in the fridge and simply pop in the microwave just before serving. One thing to note: this recipe only serves 2, so I would suggest doubling it if you are prepping for lunches.
