Chicken & Hummus Meal Prep

Meal prep is the name of the game. If I want to eat healthy successfully, prepping is the answer for me. These simple prep meals means my lunches become "Grab n Go". It means my choices are made ahead of time when I'm feeling "healthy" and not when I'm starving. 

My main change for this meal was the hummus. Really any hummus you like works. I'm not a fan of red peppers, thus not a fan of red pepper hummus. 

And my cherry tomatoes had seen better days, so I subbed in kalamata olives and a Cutie. I realize it's not a straight one for one, but it did the trick. 

Tomorrow I'm going to add another ounce of chicken. I only did 2 oz today and I don't think that was quite enough. I was worried I'd be hungry but I really wasn't. The meds I'm on help with that for sure. 

Chicken & Hummus Meal Prep

Recipe from Feel Good Foodie

Makes 4

4 boneless skinless chicken breast

¼ cup olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon oregano

½ cup red pepper hummus

12 slices mini naan breads

1 English cucumber sliced

1 cup cherry tomatoes

Prepare the marinade by whisking the olive oil, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, garlic powder and oregano in a large bowl.

Add the chicken into the bowl and toss to combine and evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Refrigerate for 2 hours.

Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Place chicken on the grill for 5-7 minutes. Flip over and cook until golden brown and the juices run dry, approximately 5-7 more minutes.

Remove chicken from the grill and allow to rest for 5 minutes. Slice and divide in the meal prep containers

Divide the hummus, naan, cucumbers and tomatoes between the meal prep containers.
