Viral Tomato Feta Chicken Pasta, Split Plate Style — The Split PlateThe lockdown-era viral tomato-feta pasta adapted into a split-plate meal prep. One casserole roasts 600 g cherry and pear tomatoes with two 8 oz blocks of feta and Mediterranean seasoning at 400°F for 45 min. Air-fry 2 lb chicken thighs in parallel for 20 min. Mash the baked feta and tomatoes into a creamy sauce with visible tomato pieces, chop the chicken, and split 2:1 — ~2/3 of the sauce and chicken to a low-carb penne pot for the adults (2 oz dry per adult container), ~1/3 to a regular penne pot for the smaller portions (1.5 oz dry per container). Pack 6 adult containers plus 6 smaller containers = 3 family dinners for 2 adults + 2 kids.
