Meal Prep Chicken

Having pre-cooked chicken in the fridge is a life saver! It's ready to add to a salad or rice bowl or any recipe where cooked chicken is called for.

Ingredients:

2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts)

1 small onion, shredded

2 tbsps lemon juice

2 tbsps tomato paste

2 tbsps mayo

salt and pepper to taste

1 tbsp garlic powder

1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 tsp dry oregano 

 

Mix everything together with the chicken breasts and refrigerate to marinate at least 6 hours or even better overnight.

Once marinated pack the chicken into an oiled 9 X 5" loaf baking dish and pop into a 425°F oven for 50 minutes. The internal temperature should read 150°F.

Carefully pour off the excess juices and reserve.

Turn the chicken out onto a cutting board and slice, tossing with the reserved juices.  

These chicken slices can be kept in the fridge for a number of meals throughout the week.

Makes 4-6 servings
