Ep. 1 Meal Prep Monday Series | Lemon Garlic Chicken Breast
In this series, I am focusing on healthy goals and proteins that would work well with any meal-
This lemon garlic chicken breast is one of my all time favorites for an easy, delicious, and healthy protein to add to any meal. The flavors are neutral, yet bright and refreshing. Its the perfect addition to salads topped with baby tomatoes, shaved parmesan, and your fav dressing on top; add to rice/noodle dishes; served up with fresh steamed vegetables on the side— possibilities are endless!
I like to just store in a large airtight container in the fridge. Its usually good for up to 3 days. You can also pre-prep your meals if you’d like in separate meal containers— up to you.
My general rule of thumb is one large chicken breast equals about 2 servings—
