Also you don’t want to be missing on that crazy chipotle chicken which I have been eating all of last week. Chipotle chicken is really really the best ever. I’ve never tasted the real deal chipotle chicken but I can bet my version is just as good. Because it is exactly how I would imagine chipotle flavors to taste – smoky, spicy, juicy. The thing with meal prep lunch bowls is that sometimes they can get boring. If you are just one person going through four meal prep bowls in a week, you may not want to eat the same thing every day. Which is why, I went ahead and created four different ways to prep these chipotle chicken meal prep lunch bowls for the week. That way you are still eating chipotle chicken, but they all taste a little different every day.

Day wise chipotle chicken meal prep lunch box plan:

Our main elements are: Chipotle Chicken Thighs and Grilled Vegetables Extra Elements: Black Beans (Canned), Rice, Quinoa, Lettuce Day 1: Chipotle Chicken Thighs + Grilled Vegetables Day 2: Chipotle Chicken Thighs + Grilled Vegetables + Black Beans + Lettuce Day 3: Chipotle Chicken Thighs + Grilled Vegetables + Black Beans + Cooked Rice Day 4: Chipotle Chicken Thighs + Grilled Vegetables + Quinoa + Lettuce

These are really ideas, and you don’t have to follow them to the T because you are the queen of your meal prep lunches. I really loved the combinations and the variety, but you can easily skip the rice and just stick with quinoa or vice versa. Or if you don’t like black beans, go ahead and use corn instead or add some salsa. You are essentially making an extra half cup of rice and quinoa, which I usually have lying around in the fridge anyway. Because the black beans are out of the can, and lettuce is out of a bag unless you are the awesome kinds who grows their own. Also don’t forget the toppings. I love a scoop of sour cream and a squirt of lime juice to round everything off. But make sure to pack the toppings separately, so that it’s easier to heat this.
