Anyone else out there feel like life is just too darn busy right now?! Seriously I don't know where my days and weeks are going! It's always easier said than done to take a couple hours on Sunday to meal prep for the week but I'm so glad when I do because my weeks are a little less stressful when I can just grab my lunch and go. Especially if I don't even have to heat it! I think a lot of you probably feel the same way because the last no heat meal prep post I put together has been one of your favorites and most pinned! (You can find that one here: No Heat Ham & Cheese Roll Ups with Greek Quinoa Salad)! This time I switched it up with some deli sliced chicken and provolone with pesto orzo salad as the side.... I have to say I think this combo may be my new favorite! I hope y'all enjoy!

FOR THE CHICKEN PROVOLONE ROLL UPS:
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 tortilla for each "day"
  • Deli sliced chicken - a few slices per wrap
  • Provolone - a few slices per wrap (thin sliced will make rolling a lot easier)!
  • 2 tbsp jalapeno cream cheese per wrap (plain or another flavor is fine if you prefer. 
DIRECTIONS
  1. Spread 1 tbsp cream cheese in a line down center of tortilla. 
  2. Layer a few slices of chicken and cheese from one end of tortilla to the other, lining up along your cream cheese. 
  3. Spread another tbsp cream cheese on top of chicken/cheese. (This helps everything stick together when you roll up). 
  4. Roll up and cut into about 1 inch slices.

FOR THE PESTO ORZO SALAD:
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 box orzo pasta
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 8oz pack mozzarella pearls
  • 1-2 cups cherry tomatos
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped basil
  • 8 oz. jar of pesto
DIRECTIONS
  1. Cook orzo pasta, plain until al dente. Drain, toss with 2 tbsp olive oil, and set in fridge to cool. 
  2. Chop up basil, drain liquid from mozzarella pearls, measure out 1-2 cups cherry tomatoes (just depending on tomato size and how much you like them)!
  3. Toss chilled orzo in pesto sauce until evenly coated. 
  4. Add in tomatoes, mozzarella pearls, and fresh basil and toss together. 
TO MEAL PREP:
  1. Add in one tortillas worth of roll ups, some of your orzo pasta salad, and a veggie side of choice to your meal prep containers / Tupperware. I added in baby carrots and garlic hummus!
  2. Keep refrigerated and take on the go for a yummy no heating required and totally filling lunch! Enjoy!

Note: These meals will be good for 4-5 days after making if all ingredients were fresh. I prepared on a Sunday night and ate Monday - Thursday for lunch!

That pesto orzo salad looks delicious. I do one similar but instead of a pesto I just use parsley. It is kind of like tabouleh salad.
