Sometimes getting lunch together for my husband to take with him to work can be a challenge. But over the weekend I tried something different...I prepared an Easy Make and Take Lunch Recipe of grilled chicken with an assortment of vegetables.
I grilled a few boneless, skinless chicken breasts along with zucchini, peppers and onions. I also steamed broccoli...which we love.
I even prepared a salad. I divided everything up in these really great containers and lunch for the coming week was ready.
And to go with my husband's lunch, we're trying these new Minute® Ready to Serve products: Minute Ready to Serve Organics. They're the perfect go-to pantry staple that can easily be taken with my husband to work in the morning.

I'm thinking about doing this for me to have ready at home, when I'm busy with kids it's hard to get a meal in.
