Peri Peri Chicken Bowl

High Protein Meal | African Cuisine

When counting macros, hitting your protein goal is the MOST vital goal to hit.  It’s amazing the part it plays in transforming your body distribution and overall tone.  But finding high protein meals that are quick and simple can be harder than losing the extra weight!
That’s why I’m thrilled every time I find a yummy recipe to add to my arsenal.  Even better when the recipes are FILLING and high protein meals, like this Zulu’s copy cat recipe of their Peri Peri Chicken bowl.

When I first did my postpartum fitness competition, this meal was a go-to for me.  Then one day I realized I could probably duplicate it, which thank goodness, otherwise we’d be spending $100 every month! lol. 
And what’s even better, was generally most people counting macros can eat the ENTIRE PORTION with no guilt. 😝
