DIY Chicken Pesto Pasta Skewers Meal Prep

Instructions

1
Cook pasta to al dente according to package directions, seasoning the water with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
2
Once cooked, strain and rinse noodles with cold water. Add pasta to a bowl and toss with olive oil. Let it cool while you assemble the rest of the meal prep.
3
Use a scale to portion your cooked chicken breast, tomatoes, and mozzarella into four portions. Add the tomatoes to one small compartment in each container, and the mozzarella to another. Top mozzarella with 1 tablespoon pesto in each container.
4
Portion pasta into the large compartment of each container, weighing out 1 ounce portions if you want to be precise.
5
Add chicken pieces to skewers, alternating with olives if you prefer. Add 3-4 skewers to each meal on top of the pasta. If you want to skip the skewers, just toss the chicken on top of the pasta.
6
Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Eat it straight from the fridge!

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pre-Cook Pasta Al Dente 🍝
    Cook your farfalle 1-2 minutes under the package time so it stays firm on the skewer and won't turn mushy during storage or reheating.
  • Pound Chicken Evenly 🔨
    Pound boneless chicken breasts to uniform ½-inch thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges while keeping centers tender.
  • Pat Mozzarella Dry 🧀
    Dry fresh mozzarella chunks with paper towels before threading to prevent excess moisture from making pasta soggy during meal prep storage.
  • Soak Skewers Properly 💧
    Soak bamboo skewers in water for 30 minutes before use to prevent burning and ensure they don't splinter when threading ingredients.
  • Strategic Assembly Order 🎯
    Thread ingredients as: chicken, pasta, mozzarella, tomato, olive, repeat—alternating soft and firm items keeps everything secure and balanced on the skewer.
