One of my favorite meal prep tricks isn’t prepping entire meals—it’s prepping proteins, including this chicken.
Every Sunday I mix up a few different marinades so that dinner during the week is almost effortless. It keeps us from getting bored because I can turn the same protein into completely different meals.
This BBQ Peach Chicken is one of those recipes I make every summer. The chicken is sweet, smoky, and incredibly juicy thanks to the peach preserves and barbecue sauce. Instead of serving it with traditional barbecue sides, I love slicing it over a big chopped salad loaded with fresh summer ingredients.
The combination of grilled peaches, creamy avocado, smoky elote topping, crisp romaine, and ranch dressing is absolutely incredible.
It’s colorful, fresh, filling, and tastes like summer in a bowl.
