Chicken Salad Meal Prep

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breast
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 4 stalks crisp celery chopped small
  • 4 green onions sliced
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup roasted cashews coarsely chopped
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • 1 tsp mild curry powder
  • sea salt and pepper to taste about 1/4 teaspoon each

To Serve:

  • 2 small apples cut in half
  • 4 lemon slices
  • 2 cups organic grapes rinsed and air dried well
  • 4 packs oatmeal or whole wheat crackers

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add chicken and sear on both sides, making sure you season it as desired.
  • Cook until golden brown, and no longer pink in the inside (usually around 4 minutes per side depending on thickness), then transfer to your cutting board and allow meat to rest, and cool for a couple of minutes before chopping.
  • Using a very sharp knife, carefully chop your cooked chicken breast into small cubes as shown.
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken, celery, green onions, golden raisins, cashews, yogurt, lemon juice, honey and curry powder.
  • Stir well to combine well, then taste and adjust seasonings as you desire. (I usually like a bit more lemon and curry powder...but that's just me!)
  • Divide your chicken salad equally among 4 clean glass food prep/bento type containers, then add in some extras like half an apple (place a thin lemon slice on the cut side of the apple to keep it from browning), clean grapes and oatmeal crackers (keep the crackers unopened in a bag to avoid getting soggy).
  • Refrigerate for up to 5 days.
