Batch Cooking #1 - Chicken

The Basics

Start the week off right by cooking a large batch of skinless boneless chicken breast, a healthy lean protein. Bake about 3 lbs of chicken with various spices, marinades and toppings and add to all of your meals throughout the week. Here are some ideas:

1. Rub with a drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, aleppo peppers, garlic and salt

2. Rub with a drizzle of olive oil, za-atar spice and salt

3. Marinate in a drizzle of olive oil, tamari sauce, hot sauce, garlic and "everything but the bagel" seasoning

4. Marinate in a drizzle of olive oil, greek yogurt, curry powder, garlic and salt

5. Bread with egg and a combination of plain bread crumbs or flour and nutritional yeast, plus salt and pepper

The Details

If chicken breasts are thick then slice in half length-wise. Apply a rub or marinade noted above. Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes. Broil for a couple minutes on each side for a nice brown. Eat on top of pasta or spaghetti sqaush, in tacos, on top of salads, on top of stir fries or on its own with a veggie and complex carb on the side.
