Keto Caprese Chicken Bites Meal Prep

If you need to throw together some meal prepping fast, keep this Keto meal prep recipe in your back pocket! Bite-sized chunks of chicken are cooked to golden and drowned in a scratch-made pesto sauce. Your pesto sauce comes together in just 60 seconds but tastes just as good as grandma’s classic pesto. Some low-carb grape tomatoes and whole-milk mozzarella mixed into the chicken completes this super-easy meal. Just adjust the recipe to make as many servings as you want, and quickly portion your caprese mix amongst your meal prep containers. If you need a snack between meals, just divide these servings in half! You can keep the finished recipe stored in your refrigerator for up to 5 days for freshness.

Safe Temperatures For Chicken

Since you have fresh grape tomatoes and mozzarella in your Keto meal, the dish is best served cold. When cooking the chicken, make sure the thickest pieces reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees. After you’ve mixed the final recipe together, if the chicken is still hot, you can eat the meal as is. However, if your chicken is getting closer to room temperature, you need to chill the chicken in your refrigerator so it doesn’t make you sick.

How To Bulk Up This Meal

Even hungrier but are still in a pinch for time? There are some simple ingredients you can quickly add to your caprese meal prep. The simplest would be to add a handful of fresh greens, such as spinach or arugula, to your meal. Sliced mushrooms can also add more bulk to your meal, and they’ll marinate in your yummy pesto sauce over time!
