Chicken Meal Prep Lunches
Lemon Caper Chicken with Potatoes & Cajun Spiced Chicken Salad with a Lemon Tahini Dressing
This week I switched it up and did two different chicken dishes for my lunches this week.
The first one is made with chicken breast, braised in a white wine, lemon, caper, and butter sauce and served with sauteed sweet and regular potatoes.
The second one is Cajun spiced chicken breast served with spring mix salad, fresh avocado, red bell pepper, and jalapeno and served with a side of lemon tahini dressing.
