Yes! This dish is perfect for meal prep. Just cook the chicken and store it. Mix the tomato topping and keep that separate. Put it all together when you're ready to eat. Easy!

How Do I Store Leftovers?

Can I Use Chicken Thighs?

Totally! Chicken thighs have more flavor and stay juicy. Just cook them a little longer than breasts and you're good to go.

What Other Toppings Can I Try?

ant to change it up? Here are some fun ideas: - Diced avocado - Crumbled feta cheese - Chopped olives These give it a Mediterranean twist yum!

Instructions

Prep the Chicken:
Season chicken breasts with olive oil, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
