Easy High Protein Chicken & Pasta Cucumber Ranch Salad

My philosophy is there are no rules with salad!! If you enjoy it together, put it in there! Salads don’t need to be iceberg lettuce, cabbage and unripe tomatoes if you don’t want them to be. You are the master of your salad so go forth Padawan and make salads the way YOU want to make them.

This salad is PACKED with some of my favorite items and full of flavor but not just that it has over 50g of protein and a huge punch of potassium!

Sweet Thai Chicken Bowls

30 minute meals? Don’t mind if I do! This Thai inspired bowl is packed with so much flavor and so easy to make that even the biggest kitchen noobs can still create an amazing dish.

You can use jasmine rice like I did for the base, brown rice, cauliflower rice, coconut rice, cilantro lime rice... you name it. Do what feels right. Maybe even no rice if you prefer to get your carbs elsewhere!

Apricot Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Do you love quick and delicious meals? If so, check out this one from coach Emi!

This is such a good mix of sweet, heat, crunch and some extra volume from all of the veggies! You can do lettuce wraps to keep your carbs down or throw it into a bowl with some rice to bulk up the carbs, throw some avocado slices on top for extra fat or even a sriracha mayo. You can also use ground turkey instead of ground chicken if you’re not a ground chicken fan. Plenty of ways to switch things up and keep it interesting!

Chicken and Broccoli Stir Fry

This recipe is so quick and easy! You can start your rice up ahead of time — I throw some jasmine rice in my rice cooker, set it and forget it. Cutting the chicken thin and cooking on higher heat makes the process fast, plus it doesn’t dry your chicken out. Not to mention the amazing sauce that packs so much flavor and deliciousness.

Lemon Garlic Chicken and Green Beans

All in, the recipe took less than 30 minutes and I only had to use one pan! You could sub out the chicken tenderloins for chicken breasts or thighs, but make sure to either butterfly your chicken breasts or pound them out a bit in order to make it thin. Chicken gets dried out easily, so I find that using thin slices and cooking at higher temps gets that awesome flavor but keeps it moist.

Gluten Free Green Chile Chicken Enchiladas

Well, these may not be low fat, but they are DELICIOUS. A great option when meal prep gets a bit dull. These are perfect for a rest day! I originally made these guys dairy-free, but the dairy-free options for cream cheese and sour cream were way too high in fat. You can certainly adjust those items if needed.
