  • It's so hot here in Austin and sometimes cold food just hits the spot. This recipe is meant to be eaten cold. The recipe can be found here: mealprepmanual.com/mediterran...
    Nutritional Estimates from Spoonacular API. Note that in the calculations I used chickpea pasta and if you use regular pasta, it will be roughly the same caloric load but with less protein and higher in carbs.

    This sort of recipe is great because it's easily variable so you don't get bored of it. One variation here would be to swap the feta for mozarella and add some fresh basil, turning it into a caprese pasta salad. Another would be to make a creamy, herby sauce (put a pile of herbs, a spoonful of Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth), and that would make this into a creamier pasta salad. You mentioned the possibility of adding a can of beans, but you could also use 2-3 cans of beans, remove the pasta, and then it's a bean salad (which you could eat on its own or put in pita pockets). In many of these sorts of recipes, if you've got pickled red onions, I think they usually are a better choice than fresh.

    No offense to other channels and with all due respect to all the content creators, I think this channel is by far the best in terms of ingredients. I can get all of them at my local grocery store.
    I mean I don't see any:
    low fat peanut butter powder
    or
    "light" mayo
    or
    0% fat goat cream cheese.
    It's all simple and accessible.

    Joshua. You are the only person I trust with such matters. I avoid chicken breast like the plague during meal prep and I share the same passionate hatred of vegetables (especially raw) as you. If anyone else told me to make this recipe I would simply laugh in their face but the care you took to ensure the veggies got all the dressing and the foil cover + 155 degree for 1 min strat to avoid drying out the chicken (genius!), along with your untarnished track record, has put me at ease that it may turn out okay. I can no longer eat soup when it's 100 degrees outside so I will be trying this. Thank you for your service as always

    yo josh - check out Good Wheat Pasta. high fiber, high protein, lower calorie if thats something you care about, and it tastes like pasta, oh and its relatively cheap - usually on sale for $3 for 12oz by me, sometimes down to $2 with coupons. and then you can add chickpeas at the end to make up for the lack of chickpea in the pasta :D barilla protein+ is also pretty good. i like this recipe idea tho, gonna make something similar next week

    The chickpea pasta gives me an idea - there's a dish where it's a plate of hummus topped with ground beef. You could probably make some variant between that dish and this one with chicken breast. I don't remember the name of the dish but I'm pretty sure Middle Eats has a video recipe.

      @@TheMealPrepManual P.S. Personally I make my hummus from black-eye peas instead of chickpeas, both due to taste and it's significantly quicker to cook (no pre-soak either). You might wanna check the macros and see what's best.
      And if you want it ultra-quick you can go with yellow lentils - twice I clocked 15 minutes from dry to dish.
