Lunch all Week




     I do food prep every Sunday, do you?  This is a lovely example of what a nice Lunch paired with a side Salad would look like.  Each of the five 2 cup servings are only 319 calories, 28.8g carbs, 4.9g fiber, 23.9g net carbs, 32.5g protein and 8.3g fat.  These macros are perfect for keeping me full for hours, especially with the addition of the extra fiber in the Greens.  Plus the convenience of having all week prepped and ready to go at a moments notice.  It’s a small inconvenience that continues to pay countless dividends the next 5 days.  If you have never tried food prep, give it a whirl and see what a difference it makes in your day!  :)

Ingredients for Five two cup servings~

1 large diced Onion

1 pound diced Chicken Breast

12oz diced Chicken Sausage (I used 4 pack Johnsonville Apple Chicken Sausages)

1 Tablespoon crushed chopped Garlic

Dash Cayenne

2 large diced Zucchini (1 pound 12oz)

1 diced Red Bell Pepper

1 diced Yellow Bell Pepper

12oz diced Sweet Potato

     Spray base of large stock pot with Pam Cooking Spray, add diced Onion, Chicken Breast, Sausage, Garlic and Cayenne til Chicken cooked thru.  I start on low heat til a few juices start to cover the bottom of pan, as to not scorch. Then add Zucchini and Bell Peppers til crisp tender, drain the juice and set aside for other occasion.  Meanwhile, add diced Sweet Potato to microwave safe bowl, and heat for 5 minutes, check for tenderness, heat an additional minute or two if necessary to soften, and stir into drained Chicken mixture.  Add 2 cups of mixture to five containers, store in fridge for the next 5 days, or put in freezer for later use.  I served mine with a side Green Salad, I also enjoyed a little Mustard stirred in.  Enjoy :)
