Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions, seasoning the water with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Step 2
Once cooked, strain and rinse noodles with cold water. Add pasta to a bowl and toss with olive oil. Let it cool while you assemble the rest of the meal prep.
- Step 3
Use a scale to portion your cooked chicken breast, tomatoes, and mozzarella into four portions. Add the tomatoes to one small compartment in each container, and the mozzarella to another. Top mozzarella with 1 tablespoon pesto in each container.
- Step 4
Portion pasta into the large compartment of each container, weighing out 1 ounce portions if you want to be precise.
- Step 5
Add chicken pieces to skewers, alternating with olives if you prefer. Add 3-4 skewers to each meal on top of the pasta. If you want to skip the skewers, just toss the chicken on top of the pasta.
- Step 6
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Eat it straight from the fridge!
