Meal Prep

Preparation is key to success, but also the hardest. This mean getting fresh produce and finding the time to prep. I go grocery shopping ever Wednesday morning. 

During the week I keep a list on my fridge to remind me of what I need. I make my menu plan for the week so I know exactly what to buy. Also I make sure to have a snack before I go shopping so the chocolate isn't as tempting ;)

When I get home I get to prepping. I bake 6-7 chicken breasts a week, dice them up and divide the into portions so I'm set to go for the week. I also dice up, separate and/or divide veggies and fruit into bags so we eat them. I usually make 3-5 mason jar salads for the week 

Makes it so much easier to make healthy choices. 

Get prepping! Makes clean and healthy eating so much easier!

Meal Preparation: Chicken

Here's my recipe for my chicken I eat during the week. 

Cooking spray 
6 chicken breasts frozen or thawed
Mrs Dash original blend 

Preheat oven to 375 degrees

Foil line your baking sheet. Spray with cooking spray. 
Place your chicken breasts on the cooking sheet. Lightly sprinkle Dash on your chicken. Turn breasts and repeat. 
Place in oven. For thawed breasts cook for 20-30 minutes and 35-45 minutes for frozen. 
Make sure your internal temp is 165 to ensure its cooked thoroughly. 
Take out of the oven and let cool to handling temp. 
Slice and dice the chicken for your week and place in containers.
