3-Day High-Protein Air Fryer Chicken Meal Prep Plan
This 3-day high-protein air fryer chicken meal prep plan is built for a short prep window: one batch of chicken, three flexible meals, and simple sauces that keep lunches from feeling repetitive.
Use this plan when you want a small reset before building a full week of meal prep.
The 3-Day Plan
- Day 1: Air fryer chicken rice bowls with broccoli, peppers, and Greek yogurt ranch.
- Day 2: Chicken taco bowls with rice, black beans, corn, salsa, avocado, and Greek yogurt lime sauce.
- Day 3: Greek chicken salad bowls with cucumber, tomato, romaine, feta, and tzatziki.
Prep Once
Cook 1.5 to 2 pounds of boneless skinless chicken breast in the air fryer. Season it simply with garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper so it works with all three meals.
Air fry chicken pieces at 390 F for 8 to 11 minutes, shaking halfway through, until the thickest pieces reach 165 F.
