These keto Caprese Chicken Bowls are a delicious and quick lunch option that travels perfectly and packs a protein and healthy fat punch. This recipe is single serving but feel free to increase the amounts as it’s super scalable.

It's ultra high in potassium and magnesium and will provide a good amount of protein and healthy fats to keep you satisfied for longer, especially if you are one of those who only eat twice a day.

If you can’t find baby mozzarella balls feel free to use fresh sliced mozzarella or even shredded mozzarella in a pinch. If you’re making this with plans to travel with it, be sure to store the dressing separately so that the greens don’t get soggy. You can toss the avocado with a bit of lemon juice to keep it from browning.

Meal Prep and Time Saving Tips

Too busy to cook? Use leftover cooked chicken and simply drizzle with olive oil, balsamic and Italian herbs. Keep the chicken in the fridge for up to 4 days ready to make your bowl.
