Week's worth of lunches in about an hour

OK, so I will let you in on something I do on Sundays, prep-wise, that can take you through-out the week, lunch-wise. This is one example & will be wonderful if you love chicken! Most people do (minus the vegetarians) because I always hear, "I'm looking for yet another chicken recipe". Well, why not? It's healthy skinless & so easy to make & pair with other foods. Here's a week's worth of chicken lunch.

It all starts out with 2 lbs. skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Cut them into chicken "tenders" & fully coat them in olive oil. Place the tenders 2" apart on a baking sheet (I line it with parchment). Then the prep fun begins!

5 dishes means Divide the total amount of chicken tenders by 5... So, if you were able to yield 15, then 3 each meal...

For the Chicken: On each of the 3 uncooked tenders, Season w/ Kosher S & P, then slather it with the herb listed below. Then bake at 400° for 20-25 minutes.

For the Sauce: whisk together the ingredients to blend well.
