Food Tip: Easy Meal Prep While You Sleep

meal prep

This is a really easy way to prepare your chicken for your weekly meal prep. I preach to all my BJJ students in the gym that they need to prepare their food in advance. The better you’re eating, the better you will feel and the better you will perform on the mat. You can eat healthy if you’re eating out but it’s more difficult for most of us and it’s much cheaper to do meal prep yourself.

Ingredients:

  • 1.5-3lbs. boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs A 3lb package of chicken will usually make enough for 5-6 meals. If you use less chicken, you end up with more sauce. Either way, it’s delicious.
  • 16oz. jar of your favorite salsa* or 1-15oz. can diced tomatoes (and flavor you choose-I love the kind with jalapenos or chilies in them, or fire roasted) If you use plain tomatoes, the flavor of the sauce will likely be bland.
  • 1/3 cup Sunbutter or other nut butter (I think the sunbutter is the closest substitute to peanut butter and gives the most authentic “peanut” flavor).
  • 2 TBSP Lime Juice (I’ve also used lemon)
  • 2TBSP Coconut aminos, Tamari, Soy Sauce, or fish sauce (pick your poison) Why you would EVER use fish sauce I have no idea-I HATE fish. 😉
  • 2 tsp. fresh grated ginger or 1 tsp. ground ginger
  • Cilantro and lime wedges for garnish
  • Ground chili paste or hot sauce-optional (for extra flavor or heat)
