Spinach millet pasta with 50g low-fat cheese, 150g grilled chicken breast, 1 poached egg
Made about 6 boxes at a time for me and my partner — 3 days each.
Chicken:
- Marinated overnight in ginger-garlic paste, lemon added after
- Grilled, then cut into chunks
Sauce:
- Olive oil in a pan, sauté garlic, then onion until transparent
- Green chilli, carrot, cauliflower and sweet corn, stir 3-4 min
- Lower the heat, add 2 tbsp wheat flour, stir 1-2 min to cook off the raw taste
- Add ½ cup blanched-and-blended spinach puree, cook 1-2 min
- Gradually add milk, stirring so it doesn't lump
- Chilli flakes, oregano, crushed black pepper, salt. Stir until creamy
Then:
- Boil penne al dente, reserve some pasta water
- Combine with the sauce, 50g low-fat cheese and coriander, loosen with pasta water
- Fold in the chicken
The egg isn't prepped ahead — I poach one fresh each morning while packing and add it to that day's box.

Happy to get inputs on what can I improve/add/take off.
