This meal prep chicken salad packs marinated chicken, corn, cucumber, tomatoes, and a creamy dill yogurt dressing into one tidy lunch box.

It’s high in protein, easy to prep ahead, and built to stay crisp until you’re ready to eat.

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt
  • 5 ounces chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup corn
  • 1/2 medium cucumber, sliced
  • 10 red grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ounce Greek yoghurt
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine the lemon juice, olive oil, dried oregano, and 1 tablespoon Greek yoghurt.
  2. Add the chicken breast and coat it well.
  3. Marinate for at least 20 minutes or up to 12 hours.
  4. Cook the chicken until browned and cooked through, then slice.
  5. Add the corn, cucumber, and tomatoes to a lunch box.
  6. Add the sliced chicken.
  7. In a small cup, stir together 1 ounce Greek yoghurt, lemon zest, dill, garlic powder, and salt.
  8. Seal the dressing cup and place it inside the lunch box.
