Satay Chicken and Vegetables and Chicken Souvlaki with Roasted Vegetables and Tzatziki Sauce
.
Here are two great chicken options to include in your weekly preps. The summation of both of these meals comes in under 1000 calories, making them a great lunch and dinner option for anyone interested in weight loss. The Chicken Souvlaki is chicken breast marinated in lemon juice and seasonings and grilled for a wonderful flavor. The Tzatziki sauce is a combination of Greek yogurt and cucumber giving the dish a layer of freshness. You can serve them on a skewer or not, the skewer just makes them easier to cook when it comes to flipping the meat on the grill. I would recommend removing the skewer before storing your meals! .

The Satay Chicken with Vegetables meal was inspired by a similar meal I have eaten in a restaurant before. I included sweet potatoes as a part of the vegetables here and they taste amazing with the peanut sauce. I parboiled them and then grilled them to put some grill marks on each side. It’s a method of cooking the sweet potatoes that is different than the norm and can provide you with some variety. The flavors are very different than what a lot of us are used to in the western world. The yellowish tint on the Chicken is from turmeric. There is a compound in turmeric called curcumin that has anti inflammatory and anti oxidative properties. Curcumin can also increase levels of brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) which is a key player in the growth of new neurons and can assist in fighting against degeneration of the brain. So turmeric is not only great for you, but it is a nice change of pace from the popular western flavor profile.
