Cooking with chicken as the main ingredient means that you know it’s going to take on the flavors and spices of the dish really, really well. Plus, it’s a great option to eat a leaner cut of meat while getting a big dose of protein, too.

This is a great recipe for that too. After preparing and cooling, divide this among your meal containers. Using a scale like I have a link to below is a great way to portion out your meals.

Can I prepare this ahead of time?

Yes – although it’s a simple dish, the slicing and prepping can take a little time.  Slice everything ahead of time and store in the refrigerator separately.  Especially your chicken.  You could even add the oil and spices a couple of hours ahead of time to let the flavors marinate.

How do you store leftovers for this dish?

All you need to do for leftovers is add it to a container with a lid and store them in the fridge. I try to eat all leftovers within 48 hours so that they’re as fresh as possible. Use these leftovers to make lunches so they don’t go to waste.  I hate having to toss food because I forgot it.
