This is one of those lunch preps I keep coming back to because itโs easy (thanks to my Cuisinart South Africa FlexPrepยฎ๏ธ 1.1L Food Processor) filling, and actually tastes good.
Meal prep has played a big role in my 46kg weight loss journey, and this is exactly the kind of thing that helps me stay on track during a busy week. When Iโm hungry, I donโt want to think. I just want to grab something thatโs ready.
This recipe makes 6 portions and each one works out to around 456 calories with about 31g protein.
What you need:
4 skinless chicken breast fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
Ground cumin
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and pepper
2 bell peppers
1 red onion
1 Mediterranean cucumber
1 large tomato
Handful of fresh coriander
1 x 410g can chickpeas
1 x 410g can corn
For the dressing:
1/2 cup olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp honey
Salt and pepper
How I make it:
Season the chicken with olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then air fry until cooked through.
Chop the peppers, onion, cucumber, tomato and coriander. Add the chickpeas and corn.
Mix the dressing together, then pour it over everything.
Slice or shred the chicken, mix it through, then portion into 6 containers.

Such a good one to have in the fridge when life is busy and you still want something decent for lunch.
