Zesty Lemon Pepper Chicken Bowls

Every summer seems to go by faster than the last and so does my fitness and healthy eating regimen as summer entertaining and hot temps take their toll! It gets really hot and humid here in the summer, so the last thing I feel like doing is turning on the stove or oven to cook dinner! Thankfully, there are much easier and healthier options like salads and bowls that require little to no prep like this Lemon Pepper Chicken Bowl!

If you like easy to prep, healthy meals, then you will love this recipe too and you’ll find it at the bottom of this post!

StarKist Chicken Creations

I like to incorporate a protein source into my lunch or dinner bowls, and StarKist Chicken Creations are a SUPER easy way to get your protein at home or on-the-go. I love the StarKist Tuna Creations®, and the new StarKist Chicken Creations are another great source of low-fat protein. They are made with premium, white meat chicken (from American farms) that is raised cage-free and is hormone-free.

StarKist Chicken Creations are single-serve packets that you don’t need to drain before using. You can just tear, eat and go!™ Choose from BOLD Buffalo Style, Zesty Lemon Pepper, Ginger Soy and Chicken Salad.

Zesty Lemon Pepper Chicken Bowls

These zesty lemon pepper chicken bowls are great for lunch or easy weeknight dinner and full of protein and veggies. You can definitely change up the types of vegetables you use in the bowl based on  your personal preference. I chose carrots, bell peppers and broccoli because the boys love those vegetables too. Quinoa makes a great base for the bowl, since it’s also higher in protein and is a great source of fiber.

Each packet of StarKist Chicken Creations in Zesty Lemon Pepper (the most popular flavor in the StarKist Tuna Creations!) flavor has only 70 calories but 9 grams of protein and are soy-free and gluten-free. The lemon and black pepper adds great flavor to this bowl and is a perfect complement to the veggies in this bowl. To make your own, just follow the recipe below:
