Forty-three grams of protein, fifteen minutes of actual effort, and not a single pan on the hob. This southwest chicken salad is the kind of meal prep win that makes you feel like you have your life together.

Shredded chicken carries the numbers, black beans and sweet corn bring the bulk, and the dressing is a Greek yogurt situation spiked with sriracha and lime. It comes together in one bowl, keeps in the fridge, and eats well straight from the container. No drama.

Big protein, zero cooking, one bowl to wash. That's the whole pitch.

Method

Combine the salad. Place the shredded chicken, sweet corn, black beans, red onion, fresh coriander, and red pepper into a large bowl. Mix and set aside.

Make the dressing. Mix all the dressing ingredients together in a cup until smooth.

Bring it together. Add the dressing to the salad and mix until well combined.

Chef's tips

  • Meal prep ready. Divide into four containers straight after mixing and lunches are sorted for the week.
  • Heat it up. This one carries the gluten-free tag from start to finish, so no swaps needed there.
