📝 Ingredients

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken dry. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
  2. 2
    Arrange chicken on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest, then dice.
  3. 3
    For the dressing, whisk together Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, chives, parsley, dill, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  4. 4
    Prepare hard-boiled eggs: place in saucepan, cover with cold water, bring to boil, remove from heat, cover, steep 10-12 mins. Drain, cool in ice bath, peel, and quarter.
  5. 5
    Cook bacon until crispy; drain and crumble.
  6. 6
    Wash and thoroughly dry mixed greens. Halve cherry tomatoes, dice cucumber, and thinly slice red onion (if using).
  7. 7
    To assemble each of 4 meal prep containers: Add a portion of dressing to a small compartment if available, or keep separate. Layer diced chicken, quartered eggs, and crumbled bacon in the main compartment.
  8. 8
    Add diced cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes on top of the protein layer.
  9. 9
    Top with a generous portion of mixed greens. Pack diced avocado separately to add just before eating, or toss with lemon juice if packing ahead.
  10. 10
    Seal containers tightly and refrigerate for up to 4 days. When ready to eat, combine all components and toss with dressing.

💡 Notes

For best results, keep dressing and avocado separate until serving. Choose sturdy greens like romaine for better meal prep longevity. Rotisserie chicken can be used for a quicker prep time.
