This recipe is taste-tested and approved by yours truly. I love this as a make-ahead meal for easy, cold, grab-and-go lunches.
The Dish
Thanks to the chicken and whole wheat pasta, this dish has 35g of protein and 9g of fiber per serving. That’ll keep you comfortably full and satisfied - aka not hitting the wall or having an afternoon energy crash. You might be skeptical of the blueberries, but they work. This kept very well for 4 days in my house.
Swaps & Time-Savers
A few ideas for shortcuts and alternate ingredients:
Use a rotisserie or pre-cooked chicken
Swap strawberries in for blueberries
Goat, feta, or mozzarella cheese would be delicious
Lentil pasta would make it gluten-free but still last for a few days
Use your favorite premade dressing
