Grilled Chicken Skewers Meal Prep
This chicken marinade for these chicken skewers is absolutely phenomenal! It’s so so good you’ll want to make these little babies all summer long! They’re great for Meal Prep as I explain below but they’re also awesome for a BBQ anytime!
Everyone LOVES food-on-a-stickðŸ˜
Plan ahead to marinate these overnight for the absolute best flavor!
I’m asked quite OFTEN for cold lunch boxes and cold meal prep ideas, so we’re always working to create new ideas for you!
These types of meals are convenient when there’s no kitchen available to heat things up. Simply tuck your meal into a cooler or purse and enjoy it when you’re ready.
🋠ALWAYS use freshly squeezed lemon juice from an actual fresh lemon. Bottled lemon juice from the store will give your salad a strange metallic or overly acidic taste. We want this dish to taste bright and fresh.
💡Want to get the most juice possible from each of your fresh lemons?
Of course, we do!
Here’s a quick trick:
On your counter or a cutting board, press and roll the lemon back and forth very firmly with your hands.
The rolling loosens and breaks down some of the citrus membranes and makes the outside a little more pliable. This makes it easier to squeeze which also means you’ll likely get more juice from your squeeze.
Let me know how this works for you!
Try this with our Homemade Tzatziki!

Preheat an indoor grill pan or an outdoor grill over medium heat.
Carefully thread your marinated chicken pieces onto bamboo skewers.
Grill the chicken until cooked through and nicely charred, around 3-5 minutes per side.
To assemble your meal prep bowls, divide the chopped veggies and olives equally between 4 separate containers.
Top each with the chicken skewers as desired.
This meal prep is excellent served cold.
