How to Meal Prep Chicken for Five Days

Meal prep works when components stay flexible. Cook neutral seasoned chicken, then change sauces and sides through the week so meals do not feel identical.

One-hour workflow

• Bake two trays of chicken thighs with simple salt and pepper
• Cook a pot of rice or quinoa
• Roast a sheet pan of mixed vegetables
• Portion into containers without saucing until reheating

Five ways to serve the same chicken

• Green salads with vinaigrette
• Stir-fry with frozen vegetables
• Pasta with pesto
• Wraps with hummus and crunchy vegetables
