If you’ve never been here before, welcome! My meal prep posts go a little something like this: 1) meal plan (use any or all of it!), 2) snack ideas, 3) links to the containers you see here, and 4) recipes and nutrition info. You can jump straight to the recipes by clicking the “Jump to Recipes” link above, or click the direct link to the individual recipe you want below. Otherwise, just keep scrolling down!

Here’s a quick peek at some of this week’s recipes. Just click the button to jump straight to the one you want!

Tuscan White Bean & Spaghetti Squash Skillet

Prep: 20 minutes mins
Cook: 50 minutes mins
Total: 1 hour hr 10 minutes mins
Servings: 5 servings
Rate Pin Print
Servings: 5 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 lb raw chicken breast
  • 1 medium spaghetti squash, (500 grams flesh)
  • 1 15.5 oz can cannelini beans, drained
  • 4 cups kale, trimmed and roughly chopped, (270 grams)
  • 2 oz sun dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 1/4 cup light coconut milk
  • 1 cup low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine (I like Sauvignon Blanc)
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped, (55 grams)
  • 2 tbsp white whole wheat flour, (6 grams)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, (1 1/2 oz)
  • 2 tsp olive oil, (0.33 oz)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced, (16 grams)
  • 2 tsp Oh My Spice! Lemon Pepper Dill Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp ground mustard
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

  • Optional (but recommended): Brine chicken breasts for 5-12 hours. Get recipe/instructions here.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut spaghetti squash in half and scoop out seeds.  Rub cut sides with 1 tsp olive oil and season with 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning.  Bake for 35-40 minutes until flesh flakes away easily with a fork.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1/2-3/4" thick), then season on both sides with salt, pepper, and 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning. Add chicken breasts to skillet and brown on each side for 1-2 minutes, then set aside.
  • Add butter to skillet until melted and hot, then add onion and garlic and sauté until tender. Stir in flour until it is absorbed, then gradually whisk in wine, chicken broth, and coconut milk.
  • Add sun dried tomatoes and remaining spices to skillet. Stir well, then add cannelini beans to the skillet and stir to combine. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over chicken. Lower heat to a simmer for 10-15 minutes until chicken is cooked through. Stir the kale in during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking, then remove from heat.
  • Remove chicken from skillet and allow to rest for a few minutes before slicing. While the chicken rests, add spaghetti squash to skillet and stir until well combined and heated through.
  • Divide into 5 servings and add sliced chicken on top. Top with parmesan cheese before serving, if desired.

    Honestly, Saturdays would be great, that way I can get my food and prep done Sunday! But Sunday definitely works better than Monday!

      Thanks for the feedback Tayler! I think Saturdays would be too much of a stretch for me to get everything ready and posted, but you can always browse my meal prep archives for inspiration if it’s easier to start planning earlier.

    What is best sub for unsweetened almond milk if you have a tree nut allergy? Berry muffins sound great but can’t use the almond milk

      Hi Kristin! Pretty much any dairy or non-dairy milk will work.

    Love this and the best one I’ve seen!! Question are the recipes above based on one person for a week of meals so I can just double them for two people?

      Thanks Elizabeth! This is a plan for one person for 6 days. There’s a little slider if you tap on the number of servings for each recipe where you can just double everything for two people.
