Most people make healthy eating way more complicated than it needs to be.

One of the simplest things I do every week is batch prep a few chicken breasts. When the protein is already cooked, meals take about five minutes to throw together.

These are a few of the simple meals I make throughout the week using that one batch of chicken.

 

How I Prep My Chicken

 

Every week I prep about four chicken breasts and keep them in the fridge ready to use for quick meals.

This is the easiest way I’ve found to make weekday meals simple and hitting protein easy.

Nothing fancy. Just real food and good seasoning.

Chicken breasts
Butter
Salt
Pepper
Garlic powder

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish, cover with melted butter, and season generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes, or until the internal temperature is fully cooked.

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then slice thin or shred and store it in a glass container in the fridge.

 

4 Meals I Make From One Batch of Chicken

1: Chicken + Eggs Breakfast Scramble

 

Chicken breast
2 eggs
Butter
Raw or full fat cheese
Salt

Warm the chicken in a skillet with butter, crack in the eggs, and scramble together.

This is one of the easiest ways to get a high protein breakfast without much effort.

 

2: Simple Chicken Plate

 

Chicken breast
Avocado
Raw carrot
Arugula
Goat yogurt
Salt

This is one of the simplest ways I like to build a meal during the week.

Sliced chicken, avocado, a raw carrot, and a quick arugula salad with a side of goat yogurt for dipping.

It’s not a “recipe.” It’s simply building a plate around whole foods.

Sometimes it’s rice or potatoes.
Sometimes it’s greens and vegetables.
Sometimes it’s whatever fresh foods we have in the fridge.

The goal is building simple meals around real food and quality protein.

 

 

3: Build a Chicken Bowl

 

Chicken breast
Arugula
Avocado
Blueberries
Olive oil
Salt

Add sliced chicken to a bowl with fresh arugula, avocado, and a handful of blueberries. Finish with olive oil and a pinch of salt.

This is a simple bowl that balances protein, healthy fats, and fresh foods.

But bowls like this are meant to be flexible and be creative.

The idea is to build a bowl around quality protein and whatever fresh foods you have available.

 

 

4: Chicken Coconut Wraps

My personal favorite. It’s like a fun tropical escape in every bite.

Chicken breast
Coconut wraps
Arugula
Avocado
Cucumber
Greek olives
Goat yogurt
Salt

Layer sliced chicken into coconut wraps with arugula, avocado, cucumber, and Greek olives.

Add a spoonful of goat yogurt and a pinch of salt, then roll everything up.

These wraps are fresh, simple, and come together in just a few minutes.

Like the other meals in this post, the ingredients can easily change based on what you have available.
