Meal Prep Chicken Recipes For the Win!
This pineapple chicken stew is the perfect recipe for healthy homemade meal prep. I am a huge fan of meal prepping, batch cooking, and making recipes ahead. I love the convenience of cooking once and being able to enjoy healthy homemade meals during the week when I don’t have time. There’s a whole section of TheHerbeevore.com dedicated to my favorite tried & true meal prep recipes. With just a little planning and prep, you can have a week’s worth of recipes ready in the time it would take to make one portion.
Just batch cook, divide into individual containers, and place in the fridge or freezer for later! I also made a list of my favorite meal prep products on Amazon that I use weekly. They make cooking easy peasy.
What’s In This Pineapple Ginger Chicken Stew Recipe?
I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices! You can get $10 off your first $30 box by clicking here!
- Chicken Breasts
- Coconut Oil: I love keeping a few jars of this organic coconut oil on hand, it’s great for cooking and also a really nice skin moisturizer outside the kitchen.
- Onion
- Garlic
- Fresh Ginger or Ginger Powder
- Carrots
- Bell Pepper: If you don’t have fresh peppers, these sweet roasted red peppers are a great substitute! I love adding them to breakfast bakes, sandwiches or wraps, and soups.
- Diced Tomatoes: I only use no salt added diced tomatoes, these boxed tomatoes are really great to stock up on! I like boxed tomatoes better because they are BPA free and more eco-friendly than aluminum cans. If you haven’t read about the dangers of consuming foods stored in BPA cans, head over to Nutrition Facts to read more.
- Jalapenos
- Pineapple
- Turmeric – a staple in our spice cabinet! Aside from all the wonderful health benefits of turmeric (hello anti-inflammation!), the flavor is fantastic. I try to add a teaspoon of turmeric into soups, stews, and rice dishes too.
- Smoked Paprika: give an additional depth of flavor to this dish.
- Coconut Milk: I use unsweetened full-fat coconut milk, which I’d definitely recommend over lite coconut milk. The flavor makes this dish super rich and creamy without any dairy.
- Salt and pepper to taste

How Do I Make This Dairy Free Pineapple Chicken Stew Recipe?
- In a large pot, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium heat. Add the chicken to the pot and saute the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes until brown. Remove chicken from the pot and set aside in a bowl.
- Heat the other tablespoon of coconut oil and add the garlic and onions. Saute for 4 to 5 minutes until vegetables begin to soften.
- Add the ginger, carrot, bell pepper, tomato, jalapeno, pineapple, turmeric, paprika, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer the stew for 30 minutes.
- Remove lid and stir in the coconut milk, and salt and pepper. Serve over rice or lo mein noodles and mangia!
Make Chicken Stew Gluten Free for a Healthy Version
This gluten free chicken pineapple stew recipe is a simple meal to make without the wheat. I’m all about making recipes gluten free when I can.
Gluten free cooking does NOT have to be bland, boring, or flavorless… It’s quite the opposite when done right. By building meals around gluten free pantry staples and swapping in a few wheat-less ingredients you can make healthier meals for you and your family.
I made a list of my 125 favorite gluten free pantry ingredients that we use on a weekly basis, and check out all my gluten free recipes here that are on The Herbeevore. These easy and healthy recipes are fantastic meals for everyone at your table.
