Meal prep doesn’t have to be dry, boring, or fall apart by day three. In this video, I’m making a high-protein lemon chicken orzo meal prep that actually reheats properly and still tastes good all week. Creamy, balanced, and designed for real life — not just day one photos.
This recipe makes 5 proper portions, uses simple ingredients, and shows how to build flavour without overcomplicating things or relying on rice every single week.
If you’re sick of meal prep that looks good but eats terribly, this one fixes that. Full recipe, cooking method, storage tips, and reheating advice included.
