Chicken, Zucchini & Feta Bites
A Protein-Packed Staple for Busy Days
If you’re anything like most of the women I work with, you want meals that are simple, nourishing, and versatile—meals that actually keep you satisfied, fuel your energy, and support your health goals.
That’s where these Chicken, Zucchini & Feta Bites come in. They’ve become a go-to in my own kitchen and for many of my clients—perfect for batch prepping on a Sunday so you’ve got breakfast, lunch, or snacks sorted throughout the week.
They’re high in protein, rich in flavour, and can be served in so many different ways.
Think: paired with toast and avocado in the morning, packed into lunchboxes with veggie sticks and hummus, or served with a crisp salad for a fuss-free dinner.
