Chicken & Hummus Meal Prep
Description
The recipe involves marinating boneless, skinless chicken breasts in a mixture of olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper to infuse flavor and help tenderize the meat. After marinating in the refrigerator for a couple of hours, the chicken is grilled until golden brown and fully cooked, then rested before slicing.
Each meal prep container receives portions of sliced grilled chicken, a dollop of red pepper hummus, mini naan slices, and fresh cucumbers and cherry tomatoes. This combination delivers a protein-rich main with creamy hummus and crunchy vegetables, balanced with the soft texture of naan bread.
Perfect for making meals ahead, the cooked grilled chicken keeps well refrigerated for up to four days, making it convenient for lunches or dinners during the week. The fresh veggies and hummus complete the meal with contrasting textures and flavors that hold up well over time.
