If you’re looking for a quick, healthy, and protein-packed lunch that doesn’t require a microwave, this Mediterranean Chickpea & Chicken Meal Prep is exactly what you need. It’s simple to make, delicious, and easy to store in the fridge for several days. Plus, it’s a great way to get your veggies and protein in without a ton of effort.
This recipe combines chicken breast, cucumber, bell peppers, and chickpeas, all tossed in a light and tangy lemon-oregano dressing. And for a little extra flavor, it’s topped with crumbled feta—because, who doesn’t love feta?
What I love most about this recipe is how customizable it is. You can swap out the veggies for whatever you have on hand, and if you’re not into feta, just leave it off. It’s the perfect base for a meal prep that keeps you on track, even when you’re busy.
Prep it on Sunday, and you’ve got four days of easy, satisfying lunches. No heating required, just grab and go!
