Sweet Kale Chicken Salad
This is my tried-and-true meal prep that gets me 4 healthy lunches for the week ahead. Each salad contains protein and vegetables and comes together in about 10 minutes. Yes, most of the recipes from my home are made from scratch, but I choose convenience when it comes to preparing my lunches for the week.
My grocery store offers 1 lb containers of pre-pulled rotisserie chicken which I divide into 4 servings. I grab a bag of salad with toppings and a dressing packet inside and then add any vegetables I am willing to eat.
This week we are going with a Sweet Kale Chopped Salad, Traditional Pulled Rotisserie Chicken, and colorful bell peppers. Divide them into containers and pop them into the fridge so they are ready to go for the week.
Sweet Kale Chicken Salad
This is my go-to formula for my weekly meal prep. These filling and healthy lunches use a pre-mixed bag of salad, a quarter pound of protein, and a side of fresh vegetables. The best part is, four meals come together in under 10 minutes.
Equipment
- 4 salad meal prep containers
- 4 mini sauce cups
Ingredients
- 1 bag pre-made salad mix with dressing
- 1 lb pulled rotisserie chicken
- 2 bell peppers chopped
Instructions
- Chop vegetables.
- Divide salad and toppings evenly among 4 containers. Reserve dressing.
- Divide chopped vegetables evenly among 4 containers.
- Divide chicken evenly among 4 containers.
- Divide salad dressing into 4 mini sauce cups.
- Refrigerate and enjoy within a week.
Notes
To make this recipe slightly healthier (cleaner ingredients): Bake and shred chicken breast using minimal ingredients. Construct your own salad with lettuce, topping, and a homemade dressing. However, that would take much longer than 10 minutes.
