Head over to my new meal prep channel - Prep It, for all the latest meal prep recipes and ideas. youtube.com/@prepitbycjo?si=oz1Olr2IyYKFsvaj I’ll see you there ❤
Finally a chef who’s straight to the point and not annoying. Thanks.
Appreciate it! Thank you
True,hevdoesnt waste our time ,I will try this. I will also look for those containers as I also cook for a week.Thanjs to the Chef.
So True
Refreshing to not dwell on trivia. Subscribed!
Yeah finally somebody who doesn't show off, love themselves think they're absolutely fantastic and spend the whole time trying to impress the audience. Get a life you morons and take NOTE of this chef!
U legit saved my life bro. Cheesy but being on my own and being intentional with my budget and still trying to eat like good meals. I love u lmao
Always here to help bro!
😊
Bro same here! Started with the Korean Beef last week, this is definitely on for next week
I've recently been trying to cook at home more instead of eating out all week, and this is one meal I look forward to. Exactly as presented too. Thanks for sharing.
I used rice cooker since 90's until now. My family loves rice and never made mashed potatoes. Everyone is busy and it really saves my time. The rice was perfect. Most of the time I used the left over rice to make fried rice with shrimp, chicken and vegetables. Life is good.
Do you mind sharing what brand rice maker you have? I need a good one
@@KiKiD9554 check out the “Tiger” brand. I would recommend getting one that can do asynchronous cooking (ex: cooking rice and steaming other things like veggies and fish) all at once
The shrimp, chicken, and vegetables helped you fry the rice? 😤
@@hanniep8489 rice is life. and my tiger rice cooking is still going after 15 years lol worth the investment
Good4you
Thank you for all your lovely ideas,I’ll be making this for my daughter’s first day at university in her cute little bento box . I look forward to seeing more of your other recipes . Thank you for making them nutritious and healthy . With much appreciation
very rarely do i find a youtube channel that impacts my life like yours did, i always enjoyed cooking but would struggle to come up with ideas of what to make. i’ve now made at least 10-15 of the recipes you’ve uploaded in the past 4 months that i’ve been watching your videos and because of it my girlfriend and i are eating so much healthier.
You are a legend. I though cooking was such a grind until I came across your channel. All other channels I watched, their guides were always way off, inacurate, and resulted in substandard dishes. Your guides have produced me perfect food every time. So easy to follow, simple indgredients, and tastes amazing and is healthy. Much respect. Thank you!
Love your voice, and how you don't just drag it out.... you get right to business. Excellent class!
Everything is so perfect with this video! I love how you took time to explain the whole process. God bless you for real! You're amazing! 💪🏽
Fascianting to watch as always - the explanations while you cook is incredibly helpful, but putting the macros and the potential substitutes is masterful.
Glad it’s helpful to you! Thank you so much.
tried this tonight. made the recipe with my 6 year old. it was a great activity for us to do together and tasted really good!
great explanation, no long ass fillers which other youtube chefs have, straight to the point, great description and screen popups for the macros. Can't ask for better.
For the first time I have all the seasonings in the cupboard!!.. Looks great and will be giving this a go for sure..... My wife is from Thailand and makes incredible white rice every time and NO rice cooker..
So wholesome. So informative. I'm just... flabbergasted at the quality of this content. I'm making this on Sunday for the week.
These meal prep recordings are really helping me out getting my food menu and macros in check each week mate, thank you very much.
I'm with jack I use a pot to cook rice inside on the stove or outside over an open fire. I just love ❤️ your recipe 😋 I made it for our family Sunday lunch instead of roast lunch. Good to have something different 👌 for change. Thank you for sharing take care.
Finally. Easy, healthy meals with few ingredients. THANK YOU!
Tried this today and it was absolutely amazing. Really refreshing from other usual chicken meals.
Thank you very much. I work out everyday and I am on a diet and always feel hungry. When I saw this video I had tears of joy in my eyes. Finally a meal I can eat a lot and not worry about my weight. Thank you very much.
You are so welcome!
not only the cooking preparations , foods, straight to the point that i like but also the chef as well. PEACE 2 ur someone special
So refreshing to see someone cooking rice in a saucepan rather than a rice-cooker! Everything looks fabulous. Going to give it a go 😊
Thank you 🙏
What's wrong with a rice cooker?
@@odhinn9 most people don't have one
Loving the hand moves in this one! Recipe is great too, simple and delicious 😍
I made this and was happy with the results. I did cook the vegs a little less time and next time I make it, I'll be sure to whisk the sauce more to make sure the corn starch hasn't settled to the bottom. Very good flavor without any unnecessary oil.
the best YT channel out straight to the point no mucking around very clear voice has the exact measurements and info of protein on everything so easy to follow your steps man these other pages are terrible
Exactly, finally a good channel. I also found some good recipes on CookWithAnna website
Just found your channel. Exactly what I need right now while I've been ordering out food on a regular due to lack of time effective cooking. Thank you. Edit: Apparently I came across your infamous "Creamy Garlic Mushroom Sauce" years ago. All time favorite for my parents and myself for roti.
Creamy Mushroom sauce is everyone's common ground here.
so you don''t like the sauce?
The mushroom sauce vid was OG!
Love your channel. I always do meal preps it's the best. Plus, you know what you are eating, and you save a lot of money. Thank you for sharing. 💛
Finally I found a series with affordable chicken meals preparation and save me tons of time, thanks for your video series !
Came late to the party but hooked on your channel and your delicious recipes now. You’ve got a very relaxing deep voice too that compliments your cooking😁
Another awesome recipe Jack. This will be my meal for the three of us at-home for Wed, Thur, this week. Thanks again Jack.
Fantastic! Please enjoy
Algorithm brought me here and I'm having a delight listening, watching and learning from you! EVEN THE HUMOR DELIGHTED ME!!! You're straight to the point and I appreciate that! I'm so trying this recipe soon.
Incredibly useful, right down to the storage times. First video of yours that I came across and I'm hitting subscribe. Thanks again.
I've just made this and it's incredible. The first of many of your easy to follow cooking tutorials I will be making 😊
Love this video, not selling me anything, just providing a wonderful recipe that I can definitely use! Thanks 😊
My taste buds lived their best life at lunchtime today after whipping this up last night. Thanks for this awesome recipe
Thanks alot for great recipe. Finally someone is talking to the point and not wasting time. Excellent
Just came across your channel.Im addicted.Love how you use the whole brocoli, reusing the pans,.and washing the rice.The amount of people that don't baffles me ,that includes a few.famous TV chefs.Im definitely gonna try make this.IM YOU NEW FOUND FAN. AWESOME VIDEO 😍✨️
Thank you so much for that
your meal prep for the week series might just have completely changed my dietary habits, i'll give it a try tomorrow for this week
Your videos are AWESOME; straight to the point, yet so very detailed. Thank you for the many great recipes on the app!
Thank you so much 😊 glad you enjoy it
I'm currently having a bit of a burnout but this seems so easy that even in my small kitchen i can do it. Definitely going to make this for the first week back to work after my rest period. Thank you!
This recipe turned out phenomenal, I’m totally in love with your recipes ❤
So so good to hear! Thank you 🙏
I can't believe I've never seen how to chop broccoli like this! Noted for future reference! I love that you show human moments like setting fire to the teatowel. :) I also love that you show us you eating the food without closeups of your face or those horrible MMM noises most people think makes the food sound tasty. And the food looks amazing as well. I'll definitely try it later this week.
😂😂😂😂
I live in Seoul, Korea, and I wanted to give my family something new other than Korean food. They loved your sweet chili chicken, so I’m gonna try this lemon chicken and another beef dish of yours. Thank you so much.
Your right hes natrual practical
Cooking with Jonny says Hello 👋! Your video is truly amazing and shows your passion and devotion towards beautiful food. I am so lucky to see your work through your channel. Thank you for sharing! 🤗🤗🤗
Fantastic recipe. With some small changes to portions and ingredient choice you can easily make this for a bulk or diet meal prep. Id opt for chicken breast and alternative to the honey to keep some calories off for a great weight loss meal prep. Thanks!
This is amazing, thank you so much for this video. Loved it!
Great recipe, I like recipes that don't require lots and lots of different ingredients
Great job !!! Direct to the point and no wasted time talking about no value added things!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for sharing all your fantastic recipes ❤
I made this today, it was absolutely delicious 👍
Great channel! We prep meals for my parents and your recipes are on point. I added lemon zest to the rice in the rice cooker for a little punch.
Very nice! Glad you’re enjoying the channel. Thank you 🙏
I made this one for my lunches this week and it is really good. Sauce is very yummy!
Hi Chef, I just discovered your channel when I searched for meal prep ideas to make for my son and his wife who are suffering jet lag but have hectic upcoming work schedules. I love everything…the meals, techniques, explanations, calm and confident directions. I admit I had to giggle, though, when you said something along the lines of “slide your thighs in and spread them out” in regards to the chicken thighs going in the pan! Not sure if that was innocent or not!😂😮😂 Thanks for the great videos. Binge watching to commence!
Oh Man ! This is delicious ! Even a novice cook like me can prep these meals ! It takes me a short while longer than you to accomplish but excellent results! Thank you sir !
Glad it’s helpful 🙏
Brilliant recipes . My kind of cooking. First time listening to you. Your instructions are nice and clear thanks 😊 Great voice
You 're quite simply wonderful chef. Love your videos. Well done!.
Chef Jack, love your videos! It helps a lot 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much! It’s great to hear
Fantastic. I just love your cooking. Very simple, easy to cook and instructions are very easy to follow.
Thank you 🙏
this is so professional yet so simple. Thank you good sir
this recipe is one of the best I have had in years! WOW!
Tell me why it took me almost 2 hours to make this 😭
because you did prep, which they never account for
Skill issue. The good news is it gets better as you get experience. Skill issues are a problem we can solve.
Like what prep???
@@TheSweetGlitters cleaning and cutting everything you need. I'm not sure what else prep would mean.
It will start taking much lesser time.. trust me it takes 35-45 minuste for this.. including cleaning.
Looks perfect! I know what to make tomorrow 😻
Your videos is VERY HELPFUL !!! As far as I know, YOU are the only one ☝️ I watched which states the nutritional components and their equivalents to grams. I mean, besides the health videos/vlogs…. but yours are really a cooking vlog with a “HELPFUL TWIST” of stating the health measurements of the dish. Thank you so much 😊!!! More power to your vlogs ~~~^^
Loving these meal preps series
This was actualy so helpful. It made me realise that eating healthy meals doesn't have to be difficult.
Not at all and it’s delicious too
This looked easy and fast to make, but delicious at the same time. Wow😊
The meal looks so good! Plus, I love the fact that you mentioned changing the cooking board for chicken...
Thank you!! 😊
Do not hesitate! This is so amazing!
I tried this meal & Firecracker Beef & Broccoli, they taste so good. I just started my meal prep routine, and your recipes help! Looking forward to try other recipes from you :D
Awesome to hear! Glad you’ve been enjoying them
Where did you get the crescent recipe from?
@@arey256not sure I understand you by crescent recipe, sorry. Do you mean where i got the firecracker beef recipe? If yes, it’s in one of his videos.
@@aamirahjamil 🤦🏽♂️ yes it was a typo, I meant firecracker recipe. Thank you I will look it up
Omg that recipe is just sooo good and so easy to make too! Thank you very much 😁
Its so tasty!
Made it tonight. Love it. So easy. Amazing!
Great recipe and I agree with Mike Moons comment. No messing about, Great info and presentation. Thank you Chef Jack
Appreciate it! Thank you 🙏
I'm going to try this. Good presentation. No life story just straight to the point and the food looks good 👍 subbed.
Thank you 🙏 please enjoy
This recipe looks amazing, Jack! I must confess I have been prepping the chicken chimi churry recipe non stop since you shared that gem, but I’m willing to add this one to the mix. I’m a bit picky when it comes to chicken thighs (shame on me) so I will give it a go with chicken breast (I’m totally aware the meat may get a bit dry, though). I can’t thank you enough for all the awesome recipes you have been sharing with us! For someone who works from home often, they help me stay healthy, save time and some money! I hope I can find some of these vacuum containers on one of your links in the description!
Thank you very much for that! Glad you’ve been enjoying the chimi churri too! That’s a great recipe. I have a link for the containers in the description as well as instructions for chicken breast if you wanted to use that instead 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens link just takes me to the main page ? What size containers are you use here ? 🙂
@@ChefJackOvens hello! do you use the 750ml prep containers?
@@thomasnielsen8554 I had asked also and just found in another comment. He uses the 750ml 😊
@@torocat4911 I just saw in another comment, I was also wondering. Yes, the 750ml. 😊
Very simple and easy to follow recipe; I'm watching this from Malaysia and thank you for making this video, would like to see more meal prep recipes😊
Starting meal prepping and drinking protein shakes the rest of the year wish me luck your cooking and budgeting really helps thanks
Meal preps are life savers!
I can't watch this episode yet because I'll know it'll make me hungry haha 😅😂 I'll watch it tomorrow, you are by far my favorite chef no doubts about it, I know you don't cook commercially but I'd love to come see you some day 😅❤️👌🤞🙏
Haha fair enough! Thank you so much. Only been out of my jobs for 9 months now. Still so fresh. I do miss working in kitchens though sometimes! I’ll hopefully do a pop up one day on a world tour 😉👌
thanks for being so straight to the point and for such great recipe
Pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for you work. No water, only deal. 👏 great job
Oh, that looks so delicious 😊
Short, sweet and Yummy. I’ll make it for sure 👍👏
Awesome! Please enjoy
Extraordinary recipe.I like your cooking bowls.
It's a great recipe! Thank you for sharing, chef Jack! I just tried it yesterday, except I roasted the broccoli and the green beans in the oven instead of frying it in a pan in order to save some time
Hey Chef Jack. After all your Creamy chicken recipes, this one has taken to my liking...I could just imagine the lemon and sweetness from honey...a real kick to this... totally blown away,😋😋😋 can't wait to cook it. Thank you so much... Take care and stay blessed 💕💕💕💕
Your foods are most impressive and your a masterpiece in cooking your contents make my with a good start with foods:-)
Much appreciated. Thank you for that. Glad you enjoy it
amazing how you make this straight to the point. you make it look so easy and creative
Thank you 🙏
drooling, but mostly over those meal prep containers. I need them! And the chicken looks good too.
I made the lemon chicken and it came out delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe! 😊
Glad you liked it!! Great to hear 🙌
I love all your kitchen design choices and crockery as well👍
Thank you 🙏
Love your channel, you have great, easy to make recipes. Chicken curry tasted amazing. Only problem I have is the conversion. I used to live in the U.K. but have now assimilated to the U.S. measurements. I will have to buy all new measuring tools, because your recipes are worthy. 🙂
All the details are in the description for conversions in all my videos as well as my website 🙏
@@ChefJackOvens Oh, I didn't know, thank you, now I'm never getting out of the kitchen. 🙂
Chef Oven, why you don't use a rice cooker? Later Uncle Roger will come to school you how to cook rice properly 🥺
Haha if you need a rice cooker to cook rice then that’s not actually cooking 😉 that’s like using a robot to write an essay for you haha 😂
@@ChefJackOvens I agree cooking rice in rice cooker is so boring
I used to have a rice cooker and it was awful. the rice never turned out right. total waste of money.
Jacks a Chef I think he knows how to cook rice he just did in this video. He doesn’t need any coaching. 🙃
We got a rice cooker as a wedding present over 20 years ago. It has never been used.
Delicious and healthy meal. Thanks for sharing Chef ❤
It’s a pleasure 🙏
Great video and recipe. Straight to the point and easy to follow.
This looks amazing 🤤 I love the editing and style of this video as well ✨
God, how am drooling over a simple dish. The recipe, presentation, simplicity just blows everything else out of the water. Gonna try it soon. ❤ Wuick question, is there an alternative to the soy sauce?
I was looking for a lemon chicken recipe and here we are!
Imma try this. Thanks chef for the straight up instruction! 💯
It’s a pleasure
Awesome! The family loved it
Great video and detailed recipe. I'm gonna do this very soon. :) Looks fantastic
I love everything lemon 🍋 😊. Have to try this recipe for sure.
Please do! It’s so good
