My first ever post and my first attempt at meal-prepping my lunches for the week! This is one portion of the ~7 meals I made for me and my husband. It was inspired by one of my favorite bowls to order from a local lunch spot near me. Components:
-Miso Sesame Vinaigrette: some used as a marinade for the chicken and the rest used as the dressing (Will link recipe in comments)
-Oven-roasted Chicken thighs, marinated for a few hours in the above dressing
-Farro and black lentils, cooked together in an instant pot
-Almond, sesame seed, and quinoa crunch (think a savory baked granola – homemade with egg white, olive oil, spices, and a little honey)
-Roasted sweet potato and brussels sprouts
-Salad greens and purple cabbage
It felt like a lot of work but it was definitely healthier, tastier, and kept me fuller longer than my typical lunch!

I also used [this recipe](https://foolproofliving.com/quinoa-crunch/#wprm-recipe-container-13322) & [this recipe](https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/savory-granola) as inspiration for the quinoa crunch – next time I will add chia seeds and hemp hearts!
it looks sooo good
