Lunch to go: three delicious meals to prepare

Almost half of all working people in Germany have a sedentary job that mainly involves mental work. This makes it all the more important to take a break to nourish body and mind. Delicious meals with chicken, turkey etc. are easy to prepare and provide lots of important nutrients for peak mental performance. Here are three ideas for healthy and delicious lunches to go.

Cook once, eat twice

If you cook in the evening, prepare the portion for the next lunch at the same time. Thanks to the short cooking times of poultry and the uncomplicated preparation, there is no extra work involved.

Provide variety

If you are already cooking for the whole week on Sunday, you should choose different preparation methods for the different cuts. Whether roasted, steamed, boiled, braised or baked - poultry such as chicken & co. offers a variety of enjoyment for the whole week. So lunch to go never gets boring.

Make sure the side dishes are of reheated quality

While chicken & co. retain their typical taste even after four to five days when reheated, side dishes should be chosen so that they do not become bitter and watery or lose their taste over the course of the week. Watery vegetables such as zucchinis, for example, should not be kept for longer than two days. Potatoes or rice, on the other hand, will keep for the whole week.

Modular principle

If you find it too time-consuming to cook for the whole week on Sundays, prepare only the main components, i.e. the meat, in different variations and buy some fresh ingredients during the week. A salad, for example, can be prepared quickly at the office and, thanks to chicken & co., becomes a healthy and filling lunch to go.
