Open in Pepper →Lunches That Actually Keep You Full
Lunch is the meal that gets skipped or eaten standing up, and then you're starving by three. A little planning on Sunday means there's something in the fridge worth stopping for.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when they want lunches with real protein that pack up the night before, whether that's a bowl of soup reheated at work or a wrap rolled up in five minutes.
Every recipe here is a lunch you can make ahead: crock pot chicken tortilla soup, ground turkey lettuce wraps, copycat P.F. Chang's chicken lettuce wraps, healthy ranch chicken salad, a warm harvest quinoa bowl, tuna salad with egg, and a Caesar salad wrap.
Quick Tips
- 1
Cook chicken in bulk
Poach or bake 2 pounds of chicken breast at once, then shred it for soup, ranch chicken salad, and wraps all week.
- 2
Pack dressing separately
Keep dressing in a small container and toss it in right before eating so lettuce stays crisp for all 5 days.
- 3
Chill lettuce leaves first
Rinse romaine or Bibb leaves and refrigerate them 30 minutes before filling so they hold their shape without tearing.
- 4
Drain tuna very well
Press canned tuna against the lid for a full 10 seconds so your salad isn't watery and needs less mayonnaise.
