Open in Pepper →Chicken That Actually Hits Your Macros
Chicken is the default protein for a reason — but not every chicken recipe is engineered to help you hit 150g of protein a day. This collection is.
Cooks on Pepper filter this collection when they're serious about macros: every dish here is designed to break 40g of protein per serving, from Caesar wraps to burrito bowls to gyros with garlic flatbread.
The trick isn't more chicken — it's smarter pairings. Greek yogurt sauces, cottage cheese wraps, and protein-dense veggies stack the numbers without adding calories or making the dish feel like diet food.
Quick Tips
- 1
Weigh your chicken raw
6oz of raw boneless breast = ~40g protein cooked — measure once and portion accordingly.
- 2
Greek yogurt over mayo
Same creamy texture in wraps and salads, but doubles the protein per tablespoon.
- 3
Meal prep the marinade
Marinated chicken in the fridge Sunday = 4 dinners cooked in 15 minutes each weeknight.
- 4
Undercook slightly
Pull chicken at 160°F and let carryover heat finish it — juicy meat means you'll actually eat the leftovers.
