Simple Lemon Herb Chicken Meal Prep Bowls
These easy meal prep bowls make your busy weeknights stress free and delicious.
recipesbynani.comWhen your week gets hectic, having a healthy meal ready to go in the fridge is a lifesaver. This simple chicken bowl is one of my favorite go to recipes because it is fresh, filling, and keeps perfectly in the fridge for a few days.
My biggest tip is to cook your grains and veggies on Sunday evening so you can just grab and go during the busy work week. It saves so much time and keeps you from ordering takeout when you are tired.
