Some recipes are flashy.

Others are the ones you actually repeat.

This Rotisserie Chicken Asian Salad is one of my new go-to high-protein lunch meal preps because it checks every box for me:

• Fast
• Filling
• Budget-friendly
• Holds up in the fridge
• No cooking required

It started as one of those viral rotisserie chicken bowl trends, but I added my own twist: coleslaw mix instead of lettuce. That small change makes a big difference. It adds crunch, more vegetables, and stays fresh for days without getting soggy.

If you're tired of spending $12-15 on lunch and still being hungry an hour later, this is your fix.

Why This Recipe Works for Meal Prep

There are a few reasons this one keeps showing up in my rotation:

1. High Protein

At roughly 46g of protein per serving, this keeps you full and supports muscle recovery.

2. No Cooking Required

Using rotisserie chicken eliminates prep time and cleanup.

3. Stays Fresh for Days

The coleslaw mix holds its texture much better than leafy greens.

4. Easy to Adjust Macros

You can add rice to increase carbs or swap mayo for a lighter option.

This is real-life meal prep. No perfection required.

How to Store

Store in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Because this uses coleslaw mix instead of lettuce, it stays crisp much longer than traditional salads.

How to Reheat

You have two options:

• Cold: Eat straight from the fridge.
• Warm: Microwave for 30-45 seconds to slightly warm the chicken without softening the vegetables too much.

If adding rice, heat the rice separately and combine just before eating.

Customization Ideas

• Swap Kewpie mayo for light mayo or Greek yogurt
• Add shredded carrots or red cabbage for more crunch
• Increase sriracha for more heat
• Add chopped almonds or cashews for extra texture
• Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce
