I don't prep all of my meals ahead for the week. However, I do make sure my fridge is stocked with healthy, ready to eat small meals and snacks -- cut up fruit, cleaned/washed/cut veggies, hard boiled eggs....and this healthy lunchtime chicken salad!!
One rotisserie chicken makes about 5 hearty servings that will keep in the fridge for 5 days. You can store it in a big airtight container and dish it out when you want OR you can portion in out like in the pic above and have grab and go lunches all week long!!
