Why Meal Prep With Chicken Just Works

Chicken is the MVP of meal prep. It's affordable, versatile, and reheats well in almost any form.

Cook a big batch on Sunday — grilled, baked, or shredded — and use it all week in different meals. Grain bowls Monday, wraps Tuesday, stir-fry Wednesday.

On Pepper, the most successful meal preppers organize their favorite recipes into collections to keep their weekly plans fresh and exciting.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Cook once, eat all week

    Batch cook chicken on Sunday and repurpose it into 4-5 different meals.

  2. 2

    Invest in good containers

    Glass containers with snap lids keep food fresh longer and reheat better.

  3. 3

    Keep sauces separate

    Store dressings and sauces in small containers to prevent soggy meals.

  4. 4

    Freeze for longer storage

    Most chicken meals freeze well for up to 3 months. Label with the date.
