Low on time, but want to eat healthier?  Here are three quick and easy meal ideas using frozen chicken and veggies (plus a few other fresh ingredients) that will help you create a delicious lunch or dinner in five minutes flat!

 This post is sponsored by Personal Trainer Food, but all opinions are my own.

I’ve been struggling to keep up with my healthy eating plan lately. 

Some of the struggle is due to willpower, which is all on me.  But hey, it can be hard to be around treats and not indulge! 

Other reasons include lack of planning, limited variety and often, I wait too long to eat, and then I am starving and will just eat whatever is in the fridge – low carb/ sugar-free or not!

I recently found Personal Trainer Food.  It’s a healthy meal plan subscription service that makes it so easy to stay on track. They deliver delicious pre-cooked and flash frozen meals right to your door. I love that the meals are single serving, so I always have a delicious meal in the freezer that can be ready to eat in about 3 minutes.

These meals are actually fairly tasty (I definitely have my faves) and when you can get a good coupon code, they are a pretty good deal price-wise.

 

I definitely have a few favorites – like the Dill Bites, Teriyaki Chicken, Meatballs and the Maple Sausage – yum!  And when I order, I include several different cuts of chicken as the pre-portioned chicken is easy to use in some of my favorite quick meals, which I am sharing with you today!

Quick Meal Ideas using Frozen Chicken:

Note: these single serve healthy meal ideas work with just about an frozen meats and veggies, I just really enjoy the grab and go pre-portioned sizes from PTF.
