Step 1: Cook the Chicken

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Rub the chicken with olive oil and season with:

• Garlic powder

• Smoked paprika
• Italian seasoning
• Salt

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then slice.

Step 2: Boil the Eggs

Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

Bring to a boil, then cover, remove from the heat, and let stand for 10–12 minutes.

Transfer to an ice bath, peel, and halve or leave whole.

Step 3: Prepare the Dip

Whisk together:

• Greek yogurt
• Dijon mustard
• Lemon juice
• Garlic powder
• Parsley

• Pepper

Divide into small containers.

Step 4: Assemble the Lunch Boxes

Into each meal prep container, add:
