Raise your hand if the weekdays seem to fly by and before you know it, you have to somehow figure out dinner and pack a school lunch. I knew it wasn't only me. That is why I like to come up with ideas like this one so that we can make an easy dinner recipe and transform the leftovers into a simple lunch for the next day. It all starts with a new convenient entree recipe with AdapTable Meals! 

I recently found out about AdapTable Meals and wish I would have discovered them long ago. The most time-consuming part of cooking an entree for me is figuring out the portions, how to season it, and then look up cooking directions. AdapTable Meals has done all of this for you! Their meat comes pre-seasoned, pre-portioned, with cooking directions right on the back. As a parent, I love the convenience while my kids love the taste and variety. You can head to your local store and get delicious meat like Lemon Peppercorn Chicken, Smokey Mesquite Pork Ribeye Chops, Steakhouse Tri-Tip Roast, and more. Plus, all of their meat is gluten-free with zero artificial ingredients.

But I wanted to take the convenience a step further and transform the leftovers into lunch. The first step was picking the meat and we chose AdapTable Meals new Lemon Peppercorn Chicken Breasts. Obviously, the directions on the package made cooking them a breeze, but I wanted to make sure to make a little extra to have leftovers. Then I paired the chicken with rice and broccoli topped with parmesan cheese. To make this dinner just cook these sides using your favorite recipes. We were blown away by the perfect balance of flavor in the marinade; convenience definitely doesn't mean sacrificing quality. Keep reading for the lunch directions using the leftovers.
