Does anyone know any healthy lunch prep ideas that contain chicken or turkey as the protein?

I made a one-pot chicken, Brussels sprouts and pasta dish this last week - it made enough for a week’s worth of lunches - I think the one change I’d make it cooking it in chicken broth instead of water

Maybe throw a chicken in the crock pot with some seasoning, veg, garlic, onion, and broth or make turkey burgers. You could try stir fry. Cooks quickly.

Look for chicken taco filling recipes (I love the ones with cumin, chili powder, and lime). Put filling in small corn tortillas and add avocado, diced onions, and cilantro on top.

Turkey burgers or meatballs are SUPER quick and easy, and they work great for lunch prep. Experiment with recipes that have different spice combinations and add-ins, and pair them with Greek yogurt coleslaw, roasted veggies, cauliflower rice, a three bean salad, spaghetti squash, or even some good bread.

Another good one is chicken marinated with Greek yogurt, lemon, olive oil, garlic, dill, oregano, salt and pepper. You can then grill the chicken and pair it with a cucumber/red onion/tomato/feta salad and homemade tzatziki.

I eat food from this site all the time, and my lunch is usually dinner leftovers.

Well mate I shred a chicken for the week and store in the fridge. Every night I make a salad.
Four leaf salad mix with cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and a handful of fresh herbs - basil, thyme coriander whatever I have. Then I add the chicken and put in my cooler/esky.
Everyday I have this and never grow tired of of it.
I make a homemade dressing too with fish sauce.....but that recipe is a secret...soo good!!

Also make your own beef jerky as u know what's in it and it packs one of the best high protein hits around....yum 🤤🏋️‍♂️😉

I find the best thing for me to stay consistent is to make a little extra of tonight's healthy dinner and wrap it up right away for tomorrow's lunch.

I eat lunch at home since I work from 5am to 230pm, but I usually have dinner leftovers, or my 'lazy salad'- half a chicken breast, a few fistfuls of spinach, and a bag of frozen vegetables (I always have a bag defrosting in the fridge). I hate dressings on salads but when i make this for dinner my mom likes raspberry vinaigrette, and my younger sister likes honey mustard. I like simple stuff you can change up really easily, as I get bored really fast, and am lazy as heck, lol!
