Description

A easily prepped take-to-work lunch idea!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 cup romaine lettuce
  • 1/2 cup kalamata olives
  • 1 cup diced cucumber
  • 1 cup artichoke
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • greek dressing (I love Primal Kitchen’s Greek Vinaigrette)
  • (feel free to add avocado, chickpeas or tomato too!)

Instructions

  1. Sprinkle salt and pepper on chicken.
  2. Grill on medium heat for 10-12 minutes, flipping once – internal temp needs to be 165.
  3. You can also cook your chicken in a cast iron or instant pot – I also batch prep chicken by boiling the whole breast in water for 15-20 minutes or until internal temp of 165 and then shred it to save for salads.
  4. In your choice of storage container place chicken on the bottom, then olive, artichokes, cucumber, red onion and lettuce.
  5. Place salad dressing in small storage safe container.
  6. Bring both to work and either pour into a salad bowl or eat out of your storage container.
  7. Prep several and they will be fine in the refrigerator for 3-5 days.
