Happy Monday, PBF’ers! Instead of my usual meal prep Monday kind of post, today I’m bringing you this totally meal-preppable Chicken Tabouleh Bowl. I made my tabouleh with tri-color quinoa instead of the more traditional bulgar, but you could use either one or even couscous. I haven’t worked with bulgar before and honestly, I’m just trying to avoid adding more stuff to my pantry at this point in the event that I actually move out of San Antonio come summer. All the stuff I’m still accumulating for product reviews isn’t helping though 😉
I liked using these 3 compartment glass meal prep containers for this dish. That way, you get to mix things up as much or as little as you want whenever snag it out of the refrigerator. It also makes it easier to pull the chicken out to re-heat if separately from the other components if you prefer. You could also use some rectangular silicone cups to help you out with that.
Cheers to another week!
