week-1:-one-protein-real-life-meals-chicken

Week 1 of the One Protein, Real-Life Meals series is all about simplicity, flexibility, and real food for real life. This week, we’re starting with a crockpot shredded chicken base — a no-stress protein you can prep once and use all week. I’ll walk you through the base recipe, serving size, and portion guidance, then show you how to turn that same chicken into four different, family-friendly lunches. The goal of this series isn’t perfection or restriction. It’s about building repeatable systems that help busy moms fuel their bodies, stay consistent, and feel good — without cooking something new every day.

Ingredients

2 –3 lbs chicken breast or boneless thighs
