As a single man that doesn’t know how to cook and lives alone this helps a ton I’m sure it’s like a 25 to 30 dollar purchase but it beats the hell out of 15 dollar meals when you go and eat outside each time 🙏 thanks !
This channel is a gem for people like me trying to bulk. The majority of high-calorie mealprep recipes on youtube are fitness-people with no clue how to cook, doing rice-steamed veg-seared meat-store bought condiments on rice. Thanks a lot. Great inspiration.
Honestly nothing wrong with that either been living on 1 of those recipes for half a year as a college student. However this will be a nice upgrade in the flavor department
@@prod.hxrford3896 THANK YOU! Agreed there. It does trigger me quite a bit, too. A good way to remember what's correct, @TheBurtle005 is by just removing the other person and just keeping yourself (e.g. "I made this for I tonight" would not make sense, but "I made this for myself" would). So, technically it should me "...for myself and my wife" but "for me and my wife" is correct enough, too.
I wanted to take time to thank you. My wife is on a fitness journey after having our son and she refuses to eat anything but this meal! Begging her to try others. By taking the time and adding the macros along with phenomenal tasting recipes, you easily earned a lifelong follower and recipe thief. Can’t thank you enough! Btw, she is 30 pounds down! Keep doing what you are doing. It isn’t just cooking food Jack, you are impacting lives. Thought you may need to hear that.
That’s amazing to hear! Wow. Thank you so much for sharing that. Means the world to me to hear things like this and glad it’s helping you guys. Much appreciated 🙏
The meal prep series rocks. I'm a very busy registered nurse and the last thing I want to do when I get home every evening is cook. A couple of hours grocery shopping and meal prepping on the weekend and voila, I've got delicious meals waiting for me when I get home. The sweet and sour chicken is beyond delicious. Thank you Chef. You are truly the food whisperer.
Hey help me out then. Thanks sweet and sour sauce that i make following exactly thia recipe, does not thicken. And the chicken imdoes not turn out to be as red as in this video. Am i doing something wrong. Maybe wrong pineapple juice.
Your content, the quality, the consideration to different ingredients people might use and the consideration to offer conversions, your explanations. Everything is so excellent. In my opinion, you’re the best to watch and learn from.
I really like when you describe what each ingredient adds to the dish when introduce it into the mix. You are the ONLY one that i've seen do this in their videos.
Your recipes never miss. I often find myself frequently browsing your channel. You’re straight to the point and concise with your measurements. Thank you for the effort that you pour you put into your videos. Myself as well as my girlfriend enjoy eating clean and tasty meals.
Literally just finished making the chickpea curry meal prep and wanted ideas for next week. This looks perfect. I like that your preps don't just have like 200-300 calories, since I need a lot more, and this one fits the bill.
I just made this by myself as the first meal I've ever cooked as a 14 year old while my parents were away. I added some noodles to the rice and i think it's safe to say this was one of the best meals I've ever had, I would 100% do this again someday. Thank you for the recipe
I tried this out today, and i absolutely loved it. One thing to add, make sure you have a large enough pan if you dont usually cook larger quantities. My first meal prep, and i am very happy with the result. thanks mate!
Who on earth came up with the idea that being on a diet was going to be boring. That looks absolutely superb, and not at all boring. Thanks for the ideas and tips. Good work.
Just by looking at it you know this is hella tasty. I just love delicious and savory meal prep that show us that meal prep doesn't have to taste bland and boring. This recipe is quite simple and yet full of flavors. Thank you man!
The first time I made it, it took me bloody ages but after practice I've got it down to a fine art at this point. Often I'll make the lemon chicken and this sweet and sour on the hob at the same time, so halves the cooking time overall (separate pans of course)
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much you are helping my husband and I with meal prepping. Simple and straight to the point. Love how you include macros, measurements and serving sizes! You deserve so many more subscribers ❤❤
I do something very similar. But i just let the peppers, onions and garlic simmer in some hopped up stock intead. Cuts down on the time even more and tastes majestic.
I love these meal prep idea series. I keep watching them and then changing the recipies to make some very quick and easy meals for my family on weekdays. I do tend to add more carrots, spinach, broccoli, corn and potatoes to the dish. But I did want to say thank you for making these and continuing to post them.
Made this recipe last night - doubled up the sauce recipe but reduced 2 spoons of honey. Came out amazing - family was very happy! Thanks for the great videos!
Sub for avocado oil or ghee and you are correct. Grapeseed oil is horrible for you. All seed oil is bad for you. They are highly inflammatory and highly processed.
I started workout a few months ago and your channel is literally what I need rn cuz I really need to fix my diet. Thankyou so much its so easy with your videos!
Only another dude can understand how simple and straightforward us guys want our cooking to be....Thank god there was no long commentary..that just exhausts me. Love your video mate! Great Work!
I cooked this meal this weekend and love it. Very tasty and easy to follow. This is a very thought out series that i am really enjoying where the focus is on teaching rather than showing off. Loved your channel for a long time but this meal prep series is just superb!!
Love this!! I make mine very similar to this. I like adding pineapple bits too. Ive tried both cooking them and adding them cold before serving and I must say I actually prefer them cold! Adds a very interesting contrast between the hot and cold and tons of fruity sweetness.
Made enough portions my wife and I for the week. I’ve never really cooked anything in my life and it came out amazing! I will continue to make more from your series.
Hey Jack! Just stumbled upon your channel and made this as my very first meal prep for the week. Used chicken thighs instead of breast and followed your step by step instructions - very clear and straight to the point! big big thank you! The dish came out great and my family even enjoyed it. Will be meal prepping with your other recipes as well.
Congratulations on the 500K mark Jack! Richly deserved IMHO. You continue to deliver top recipes, preparation tips and cooking methods. And anothe sweet & sour meal today! Keep it up. Cheers from AKL, NZL.
Thank you so much for your loyal support Howard! I always lookout for familiar names popping up in the comments and got to say you’re up the top. It’s great appreciated. Thanks mate 🙏
I love this recipe so much, been having it for dinner every night for the last 3 months. As for my own tastes, I like to cut the chicken and capsicum a lot smaller as well as adding some cinnamon on top for extra flavor. I also prefer putting the rice underneath as a bed to soak up the flavor of the sauce.
This is one of the best homemade meals I have done. Was a success with all of us. Thank you so much for giving us inspiration, can’t wait to try and make some others next week.
I just made this and it came out fantastic!!! Thank you Jack! All your recipes have came out great and have NEVER left me disappointed. Keep up the good work brother!!
Thank you for showing everything clearly and simply describing the process. Short and sweet. No extra talking or forced excitement. Fantastic, super well done.
Came across your channel and this recipe today. Actually went to the store and got all I needed because I got so hyped to make it! Sitting here now with a bowl of this amazing dinner , thank you!
This is the exact recipe and video ive needed and have been blessed that it popped up on my home page, thanks so much, one of my most favourite meals that i can now cook from scratch for the whole week!
It took me over one hour to cook this for the first time. My pan was too small so i had to cook the meat in batches aa you recommeded. But the result is mmmmmmmh. Im loving the taste 😋😋😋 Next time i should make more sauce since it was about 1.8kgs of chicken 😅 Thank you so much will defininetely try your other recipes!
Hey Chef Jack, Absolutely loved this recipe and my god it tastes so good. I was wondering if there's any alternatives for the Bell Peppers. Bell Peppers where I live at is crazy expensive, so was wondering if there's any alternatives in mind. Thank you once again for this recipe ❤️
Absolutely amazing recipe! Thanks for this, since my patience for making elaborate dishes every day has diminished. But lmao at "under an hour" for the prep. It took me well over 4 hours, but I suppose it will get faster with practice.
I saw the thumbnail and already started drooling! 😜 Great quick easy sweet and sour recipe! Just what I was looking for, thanks! 👍🏾 Your videos are so quick, clear, concise and easy to understand. Love them 🙌🏾
So sweet and sour chicken is my favorite chineese food. It is terrible for my health so I don’t eat it much. I cooked this today and followed the recipe exactly and it is delicious. I am sitting here right not stuffed. And i have it for the remainder of the week for lunch. Thanks so much.
Love the meal preps you do! I make them for work, saves me so much money in the long run! Not sure if you've done a sticky honey chicken and rice/kung po chicken and rice but would be great to see one of these in the future? Just an idea! Top work Jack! Always good to see them subcriber numbers going up and up :)
Congratulations on 500k! You do awesome work in general bruddah, but these simple meal prep videos with the macros added in are really top quality. Appreciate all the effort you put in and wish for your continued success man!
All credit goes to Jack Ovens for this fantastic recipe. I always do meal planning on the weekend and I have made this maybe 10 times now. I have a couple small modifications that I think improve upon it, but again, all credit goes to Jack. 1- cut the chicken way smaller, it will be easier to cook a larger amount 2- DEFINITELY cook the chicken in 2 stages like jack suggests, it took me forever to try to cook it all at once 3- I used a 400ml can of dole pineapple tidbits instead of the juice like jack suggests. Make sure you add this to the sauce last or else it will make whisking the corn flour more difficult. I found the chunks of pineapple instead of the juice added a nice juicy texture 4 - double the garlic Thanks to Jack and happy meal planning everyone ✌️
Omg thanks, i started living with housemates for college after depending on my parents for years. Im trying to do some body recomposition, these meals are so good since im poor as a joke :D.
Ohh Chef Jack, Thank you for being our best kitchen buddy..you make our lives super delicious and easy😋😋. Another easy and tasty recipe.. Birthday boy, missed the black pepper and the whisper 😛 😄
Well, from cooking to stop doing that for a while, i tried to watch some recipes on youtube. Fortunately, I found this one, it really motivates me to start cooking again. Thanks Jack!

Thank you Jack, just made it for the first time and it turned out amazing. For any other cooking noobs like me, I’d recommend getting garlic and ginger paste. It saves me a lot of time and tastes just as good.
Absolutely, mate! I couldn't agree more. This channel is a lifesaver for those of us on a bulking journey who appreciate real, flavorful food. I've stumbled upon so many "fitness" recipes that seem to forget taste entirely. It's refreshing to find a source that not only understands the importance of nutrition for bulking but also appreciates the joy of cooking. Your high-calorie meal prep recipes are a game-changer for anyone looking to gain muscle without sacrificing flavor. It's evident that you have a genuine passion for both fitness and cooking, and it reflects in the quality of your content. Speaking of fitness, one of the remarkable benefits I've experienced with the keto diet is its ability to promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass. It's like a win-win situation-shedding excess fat and building a lean, strong physique. The increased focus on healthy fats and proteins provides sustained energy, making it an ideal approach for those looking to enhance their physical performance. In the spirit of your culinary creations and the keto fitness journey, let's keep this in mind: "Fuel your body, fuel your gains, and savor every flavorful step of the journey!" 💪🍲👨🍳
Immediately subscribed! I love sweet and sour dishes and really appreciate this straightforward recipe and that you provide all the macros for us too! Thanks 🙏
Your content is awesome, I have been sold. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to offer alternatives for folks with allergies, etc. and you also further elaborate on minute details of things when you don't need to, but I appreciate. Cheers.
Should sprinkle the sesame seeds on, after plating them in your meal prep dishes. Like a finishing garnish... Would go well with the green onions garnished on top and just make the plating/appearance a slight bit better. Can also top the rice with sesame seeds as well like they commonly do in Japan.
Needed some meal preps, landed on this brilliant video and the small tips given throughout make it even better, like the substitute for cider vinegar (as a Muslim, I don't drink alcohol). Thank you, you've got a new subscriber.
Made this today as a dinner for four. Absolutely gorgeous, really tasty. The portions are generous, in fact the spare one will make two lunches. Only comment would be on browning the chicken. Had to spilt it onto two batches, and they were almost too big for a ordinary gas ring. Otherwise really simple, highly recommended.
Hi, this recipe is very good, i tried it and i liked it very much. I also really enjoy your other recipe videos.Your recipes are very simple and well explained. I hope you will continue this work and I am very much looking forward to more videos and recipes in the future. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
If you eat rice a lot, I recommend getting a good rice cooker. Yes it is unitask tool, but it is worth it. It is almost impossible to make bad rice. Cooking the rice in a pot, I have never come close to getting the rice as good as my Zojirushi. The texture will be better than what you get at a restaurant. And somehow, the flavor is better. I used to look at people who ate plain rice and be baffled how they could eat something so plain tasting. Then I got the Zojirushi and now I know. It cooks brown rice, oats as well. It is one of those things that once you use one, you will never never go back.
Made these today. Took one hour. Very delicious Ty. It was like a 30 dollar purchase but now I have all the ingredients to make it again next week. I’m sure this can be done with shoulder steak as well. I’m also thinking of adding asparagus to the veggies.
this is perfect for my cut. macros are awesome and i mainly used the sauce for hte veggies and made my chicken with eggwhites. i just cut down the sauces to half their ingredients and coated the veggies perfectly, while simultaneously giving a good flavor punch to my chicken and egg whites, so calories/protein is awesome
Other days, I have a lot inspirations to cook. Also the other days, I got no clue what to cook. I add your video to my playlist of recipe. Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much for this! A little constructive advice to the audience tho: season the chicken with whatever you’d like (other than the sauce) then sauté the chicken FIRST and then transfer them to a bowl, AND THEN sauté the veggies in the same pan, infusing the flavors of the seasoned chicken into the veggies, then reintroduce the chicken and the sauce for a quick mix-up! The recipe is wonderful as is, but sautéing the chicken first will kick the veggies up a notch!
If you don't like how tough chicken breast is couple recommendations: pound out the chicken to tenderize or do what Asian restaurants do and Velvet it. Per 1 pound/16 ounce of chicken use 1 & 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (bi-carb) and mix it through cubed chicken with your hands and coat it evenly and set in fridge for 30 minutes then wash thoroughly and pat dry after
The chicken isn’t tough whatsoever. No need to pound or velvet the chicken. The way I make these recipes, the chicken is cooked with intention to be reheated so it’s all timed in well without anything else needing to be done
As a single man that doesn’t know how to cook and lives alone this helps a ton I’m sure it’s like a 25 to 30 dollar purchase but it beats the hell out of 15 dollar meals when you go and eat outside each time 🙏 thanks !
Yea going out to eat is unfortunately very expensive.
And usually unhealthy
@@asilva92 Yeah you really dont know what they put in there to make it taste so good
Ikr?? And chinese food is one of my vices (that i know is SUPER unhealthy,) so i know I'll be making THIS recipe a lot.)
15 dollar meal? That's fucking 5 dollars where i live and there's even a bit more food lmao

Honestly nothing wrong with that either been living on 1 of those recipes for half a year as a college student. However this will be a nice upgrade in the flavor department
eat this amount three times a day to bulk, the portion is far too small to last longer than a hour

Absolutely amazing recipe! Thanks for this, since my patience for making elaborate dishes every day has diminished.
But lmao at "under an hour" for the prep. It took me well over 4 hours, but I suppose it will get faster with practice.
Thanks chef Jack ! It looks amazing !
Thank you 🙏
I saw the thumbnail and already started drooling! 😜
Great quick easy sweet and sour recipe!
Just what I was looking for, thanks! 👍🏾
Your videos are so quick, clear, concise and easy to understand. Love them 🙌🏾
So sweet and sour chicken is my favorite chineese food. It is terrible for my health so I don’t eat it much. I cooked this today and followed the recipe exactly and it is delicious. I am sitting here right not stuffed. And i have it for the remainder of the week for lunch. Thanks so much.
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you
Love this series! Budget and easy to make! More to come please!!❤
Great to hear! Sure thing, I’ve got an infinite amount of meals to make 🙏🙏
Made this tonight for dinner! So good! Thank you 😊
You are so welcome!
Okay, from a cinematography perspective, changing the colors/peppers with each slice there was chef kiss. 😀
Love the meal preps you do! I make them for work, saves me so much money in the long run! Not sure if you've done a sticky honey chicken and rice/kung po chicken and rice but would be great to see one of these in the future? Just an idea! Top work Jack! Always good to see them subcriber numbers going up and up :)
Yeahh
Good to know thanks for sharing
Congratulations on 500k! You do awesome work in general bruddah, but these simple meal prep videos with the macros added in are really top quality. Appreciate all the effort you put in and wish for your continued success man!
I really appreciate it! Glad the videos are helpful 👌👌
Yeahh
I don’t eat meat what could i use instead of the chicken with quite the same amount of Protein?
Might try this one out, really similar macros to my Thai curry turkey recipe, which I've been eating for the past month, changes are always welcome!
Sounds great!
All credit goes to Jack Ovens for this fantastic recipe. I always do meal planning on the weekend and I have made this maybe 10 times now. I have a couple small modifications that I think improve upon it, but again, all credit goes to Jack.
1- cut the chicken way smaller, it will be easier to cook a larger amount
2- DEFINITELY cook the chicken in 2 stages like jack suggests, it took me forever to try to cook it all at once
3- I used a 400ml can of dole pineapple tidbits instead of the juice like jack suggests. Make sure you add this to the sauce last or else it will make whisking the corn flour more difficult. I found the chunks of pineapple instead of the juice added a nice juicy texture
4 - double the garlic
Thanks to Jack and happy meal planning everyone ✌️
Amazing work! Glad you made changes that you prefer! Happy to hear you’re enjoying it. Thank you 🙏
Omg thanks, i started living with housemates for college after depending on my parents for years. Im trying to do some body recomposition, these meals are so good since im poor as a joke :D.
Great to hear they’re helpful to you 🙏
Same situation here but my owner has a strictly no cooking policy, so there's no stove. What do I do with just a microwave?
It taste it verry good , my whole family loved it my son well known of not eating rice surprised me and just loved it as well thumbs up chef ❤
Awesome to hear! Glad everyone enjoyed it
What is the size capacity of those food containers in liters? Thank you!

@@ChefJackOvens Thank you so much!
This looks so delicious!! I’m definitely making this and might just do it for months and months too.
Thanks for sharing!
It’s so good! I wish I was eating it right now
Ohh Chef Jack, Thank you for being our best kitchen buddy..you make our lives super delicious and easy😋😋. Another easy and tasty recipe.. Birthday boy, missed the black pepper and the whisper 😛 😄

Well, from cooking to stop doing that for a while, i tried to watch some recipes on youtube. Fortunately, I found this one, it really motivates me to start cooking again. Thanks Jack!

@@rohanbomb2656 it's okay, you're not immature, just honest
It's okay, you're not immature, just honest
Thank you Jack, just made it for the first time and it turned out amazing. For any other cooking noobs like me, I’d recommend getting garlic and ginger paste. It saves me a lot of time and tastes just as good.
0:12 No rice cooker?😢
i know right? I immidietly spotted a lot of questionable stuff but there is no comments pointing those out. Guess the channel owner deleted them all.
No. I just don’t use a rice cooker and my followers know that. I don’t need another appliance in my kitchen when I can cook perfect rice in a saucepan
@@JJ-gb5j Rice cooker makes it easier to cook rice but they aren’t really necessary.
@@TamThan4ever actually a weirdo ass take dude. Just an FYI, a lot of non Asian households don't have a rice cooker
@@TamThan4ever “questionable” lmao what
I like Big BREATS especially ones like these😊😊😊😊😊😊.

Please, by all means. Use rice as much as you like. I love it. Versatile and easy to digest. You can also put spices in rice to change it up.
0:07 protein dish using with rice?? ..... uhhh okay....
It uses chicken for the protein mate, lol
White rice. Really not good.

Made this today for everyone, it was incredible! Definitely adding this to the rotation for work lunches, now to check out the rest of the channel.
Fabulous! I made it last night. It was fun to make, came out pretty well... and even the kids liked it. Thanks.
Absolutely, mate! I couldn't agree more. This channel is a lifesaver for those of us on a bulking journey who appreciate real, flavorful food. I've stumbled upon so many "fitness" recipes that seem to forget taste entirely. It's refreshing to find a source that not only understands the importance of nutrition for bulking but also appreciates the joy of cooking.

Speaking of fitness, one of the remarkable benefits I've experienced with the keto diet is its ability to promote fat loss while preserving muscle mass. It's like a win-win situation-shedding excess fat and building a lean, strong physique. The increased focus on healthy fats and proteins provides sustained energy, making it an ideal approach for those looking to enhance their physical performance.
In the spirit of your culinary creations and the keto fitness journey, let's keep this in mind: "Fuel your body, fuel your gains, and savor every flavorful step of the journey!" 💪🍲👨🍳
Immediately subscribed! I love sweet and sour dishes and really appreciate this straightforward recipe and that you provide all the macros for us too! Thanks 🙏
Your content is awesome, I have been sold. I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to offer alternatives for folks with allergies, etc. and you also further elaborate on minute details of things when you don't need to, but I appreciate. Cheers.
Should sprinkle the sesame seeds on, after plating them in your meal prep dishes.
Like a finishing garnish...
Would go well with the green onions garnished on top and just make the plating/appearance a slight bit better. Can also top the rice with sesame seeds as well like they commonly do in Japan.
Needed some meal preps, landed on this brilliant video and the small tips given throughout make it even better, like the substitute for cider vinegar (as a Muslim, I don't drink alcohol). Thank you, you've got a new subscriber.
I have made this a regular staple training meal prep for over a year now
It’s been great and filling for a bulk or gain. High protein it is ❤
Just did it ! Approved ! Thanks ! Here in France, we're not used to Worcestershire, honey, and soy in a sauce, but I like it !
Made this today as a dinner for four. Absolutely gorgeous, really tasty. The portions are generous, in fact the spare one will make two lunches.
Only comment would be on browning the chicken. Had to spilt it onto two batches, and they were almost too big for a ordinary gas ring. Otherwise really simple, highly recommended.
i don't wanna cook or even have time during the week so meal preps are an excellent choice for me. Thank you.
Hi, this recipe is very good, i tried it and i liked it very much. I also really enjoy your other recipe videos.Your recipes are very simple and well explained. I hope you will continue this work and I am very much looking forward to more videos and recipes in the future. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it
If you eat rice a lot, I recommend getting a good rice cooker. Yes it is unitask tool, but it is worth it. It is almost impossible to make bad rice. Cooking the rice in a pot, I have never come close to getting the rice as good as my Zojirushi. The texture will be better than what you get at a restaurant. And somehow, the flavor is better. I used to look at people who ate plain rice and be baffled how they could eat something so plain tasting. Then I got the Zojirushi and now I know. It cooks brown rice, oats as well. It is one of those things that once you use one, you will never never go back.
Made these today. Took one hour. Very delicious Ty. It was like a 30 dollar purchase but now I have all the ingredients to make it again next week. I’m sure this can be done with shoulder steak as well. I’m also thinking of adding asparagus to the veggies.
this is perfect for my cut. macros are awesome and i mainly used the sauce for hte veggies and made my chicken with eggwhites. i just cut down the sauces to half their ingredients and coated the veggies perfectly, while simultaneously giving a good flavor punch to my chicken and egg whites, so calories/protein is awesome
One of the very best youtube cooking channel!
Other days, I have a lot inspirations to cook. Also the other days, I got no clue what to cook. I add your video to my playlist of recipe. Thank you for the video!
Thanks so much for this! A little constructive advice to the audience tho: season the chicken with whatever you’d like (other than the sauce) then sauté the chicken FIRST and then transfer them to a bowl, AND THEN sauté the veggies in the same pan, infusing the flavors of the seasoned chicken into the veggies, then reintroduce the chicken and the sauce for a quick mix-up!
The recipe is wonderful as is, but sautéing the chicken first will kick the veggies up a notch!
so much better than those fitness influencers with mediocre cooking skills 🙏🏼 you're a lifesaver
just made this for a second time and It's still awesome
Loved this video. straight to the point, no faffing about. can't wait to try and am now a subscriber since I have started to batch cook.
Thank you so much! Welcome to the channel
If you don't like how tough chicken breast is couple recommendations: pound out the chicken to tenderize or do what Asian restaurants do and Velvet it. Per 1 pound/16 ounce of chicken use 1 & 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda (bi-carb) and mix it through cubed chicken with your hands and coat it evenly and set in fridge for 30 minutes then wash thoroughly and pat dry after
The chicken isn’t tough whatsoever. No need to pound or velvet the chicken. The way I make these recipes, the chicken is cooked with intention to be reheated so it’s all timed in well without anything else needing to be done
