One Pot Chicken and Vegetable Meal Prep
It feels like time is going by faster and faster and that somehow a whole week goes by and suddenly it’s Sunday night and nothing has been prepped for the week! Anyone else feel this way? I’ve been trying to schedule my week better and more efficiently so my Sundays aren’t so panicked but sometimes life happens.
More than once, I’ve considered just buying lunch and dinner for Monday and then meal prepping afterwards but now with a house to pay for (oh right, this is a thing now. I am stressed, help me!), frivolously buying a whole day’s worth of meals on Mondays, is just too hard for me to justify right now.
This is when this super easy one pot chicken meal prep was born! Combining bite sized chicken pieces that cook quickly alongside with vitamin and fibre packed sweet potatoes and quick cooking snow peas, makes for the perfect speedy meal prep! It takes under an hour, uses one skillet to cook, and can easily be scaled up! I hope you try this last minute meal prep!

- One pound of chicken breasts is around 2-3 chicken breasts depending on their size. It’s up to you at the end of the day how much chicken you want to put in!

- I like to pair this chicken meal prep with my roasted garlic dressing but you could pair it with whatever you have on hand or serve without any dressing.
