If you’ve ever had busy weeks working but considered eating healthier, you would have likely heard of meal prep. For the uninitiated, meal prep involves bulk cooking meals at one go to last for the week.

EAT HEALTHIER

This kind of eating plan is popular with gym-goers and health-conscious eaters, due to the flexibility of being able to choose what goes into your meals. Prepping meals ahead of time also has the added benefit of being money saving, as food is purchased in bulk.

EASY ON THE WALLET

I would say the only real drawback to meal prepping is taking the time to cook them on a weekend for the week! The payoff is more than worth it though; as you can control your portions, have meals that are good for you, and are also easier on your wallet.

Inspirecookeat has come up with a great meal prep idea that you can make on the grill! Try this meal prep when you have taken out your barbeque for the weekend with friends, or you feel like you’d want to make use of good weather. For this recipe, he has used the Napoleon TravelQ TQ285X.

In our meal prep, we use store-bought Asian soup mixes (laksa, and tom yum, with no added msg) to boost flavor with minimal effort. Just pick your favorite brand, and you are good to go!

Recipe Notes

Use a variety of sweet potatoes (gold, purple, japanese) to mix things up!
The chicken breasts need to be of even thickness and flat to cook evenly on the grill. Pound them slightly to flatten if required.
When reheating, ensure all the food is hot. Reheating will also slightly wilt the bok choi, but this is desired.
Be sure to open the lid slightly for steam to vent when reheating in a microwave!
When grilling, the vegetables may not all cook at the same rate. In which case, remove the cooked ones, reposition the remainder and use the free space to cook the chicken!
