Sundays are food prep days in the Nelson house…

This used to be a HUGE task for me because I would prep all my meals and husbands meals for the week. Since I started drinking shakes for lunch (thank God!), I now only have to prep my hubby’s lunches. I tried out a recipe for Cilantro Lime Chicken and my hubs decided he wanted this in his weekly line up. I prep extra of this chicken because it is probably my favorite thing to have in the fridge for when I’m not feeling like cooking.

This chicken is great on its own, over rice, with avocado salsa, guacamole, in a salad, or in tacos. It’s SO versatile and makes a quick and easy healthy lunch or dinner.

What we prep for the week:

• Sweet potatoes
• Ground turkey
• White rice
• Brown rice
• Cilantro Lime Chicken (extra for me)
• Rice w/black beans for Lizzy’s lunches
• Zucchini chicken bites

I still cook dinners most nights of the week but this keeps the hubby and babe fed during the day while I am at work.

Ok here’s the recipe:
