Meal Prep and 5 Chicken Marinade Recipes

It’s 2021 and everyone is setting New Year’s Resolutions. 

Resolutions can be difficult to keep, but we’re here to help you start with a small resolution that can have a big impact: Meal prep.

Meal prepping does not have to be a difficult, time consuming task. Carve out a few hours one day a week, and put together lunches or dinners for the week. 

We’ve partnered with Honeysuckle who has created five chicken marinade recipes to help you with your weekly meal prep in 2021. 

Don’t get bored with the same old chicken. Try these easy to make marinades by mixing different flavors you likely already have in the pantry / fridge.

The sandwich size Zip Top containers are perfect for these meal prep chicken recipes. Just stand the container up, add the chicken and marinade, zip it shut, and place it in the freezer. When you’re ready to cook, just thaw and grill or bake the chicken.
