During a busy week you can’t beat shredded chicken as a meal prep super star. It’s so versatile, affordable and easy to cook! If you live in fear of overcooked chicken breast a sous vide is the answer. You literally cannot overcook it since it never gets hotter than the temp you set! If you’re a busy mom who gets distracted (🙋‍♀️) this is your friend. I set it in the morning and then come back to take it out after a couple hours. I recently leveled up my sous vide game with a Syntus Vacuum Sealer for Food with 30 Reusable Vacuum Bags. It’s so easy to use and stops automatically when it’s done to take out any guesswork. It works with any valve bag and makes a perfect seal to keep out all the water. Muchhh better than my previous system of a ziploc, a straw and closing it super fast 😂 The options are endless for using shredded chicken (chicken pot pie, chicken soup, chicken and rice casserole…), here are four ideas to get you started! Homemade tzatziki chicken salad- I paired my favorite tzatziki recipe with shredded chicken to make a healthier, higher protein chicken salad for snacks and lunches Pulled chicken sandwiches- add bbq sauce, coleslaw and a pack of hamburger buns and dinner is done! Chicken Caesar wraps- caesar salad wraps are the talk of the town right now and couldn’t be easier after you prep your chicken. Add a bagged Caesar, some wraps and an easy side and you have a crowd pleaser on the table in less than 5 mins. 5 ingredient Creamy chicken enchiladas- mix chicken with a jar of salsa and a handful of cheese for the filling. Mix another jar of salsa with sour cream to make the sauce. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 with half of the sauce. Roll the filling in burrito sized tortillas and place in the pan. Top with the rest of the sauce and a layer of cheese and bake at 400 until bubbly and the cheese is melted. LTKHome
