12 total meals, 3 different types. Each type made with the same amount of ingredients. Serving sizes based on package label

Chik pea angel hair pasta with rotisserie chicken and Wegmans cheese sauce (1 serving pasta, 2 oz chicken, 1/2 serving cheese sauce)

Jasmine White rice with rotisserie chicken and Wegmans cheese sauce (1 serving rice, 2.8 oz chicken, 3/4 serving cheese sauce)

Jasmine white rice with Rosina’s Italian meat balls and Amy’s Organic Cream of Mushroom (1 serving rice, 6 meat balls, 1 serving cream of mushroom)

Just thought I’d share for anyone looking for ideas. They run about 400-600 calories each and of course the serving sizes used can always be reduced or increased depending on your goals. It doesn’t take more than 25-30 minutes of total cook and package time. Bon appétit Lol

    How do you store your prep do you freeze? I'd be worried about leaving food to sit in the fridge all week

    It stays fine in the fridge. It never sits more than 6 days, each mea gets microwaved 2:30-3:30 minutes before being eaten and I’ve been having them for 5 months and Haven’t gotten sick. I usually go with the smell test and they always smell and taste good within a week

    What is Wegmans cheese sauce? How's the taste? How many rotisserie chickens did you buy?

    Sorry for all the questions, looks really good. Gave me some motivation to meal prep as well!

    Costco sells its rotisserie chicken meat packaged/off the bone if you want to bypass the need to break down the chicken yourself. For myself, I am always on the lookout for a shortcut!

    I'm also looking for shortcuts too! I was at Costco the other week and didn't see the prepackaged ones that are already boneless? Where did you find that?! I've always thought to myself how I would eat more rotisserie chicken if they weren't a full chicken in the package!

    Wegmans is the grocery store and they have their own brand of items. It’s a regional chain primarily in WNY but they’re starting to expand out. Any kind of cheese sauce will do like alfredo for example. The Wegmans cheese sauce reminds me of digiornos alfredo sauce that I used to have when I was a kid but they discontinued it years ago. It’s a little sweeter than alfredo sauce. As far as the chicken, just 1. I’ve gotten pretty good at deboning it and can usually do that in 5-7 minutes now lol
