These days, people want to spend less time in the store and more time at home with their families. Give consumers what they are looking for with healthy, ready-to-cook meals they can prepare in a snap.
Ready. Chef. Go!’s Chef Mark has created dozens of grab-n-go meal ideas. To help you get started, we have spotlighted a handful of them below.
The smallest of these recipes serves at least three people. Of course, they can be sized up into larger, bulk meal prep recipes. Don’t forget to order the appropriately sized cooking bags and containers from the RCG! website.
Appealingly Simple Cooking Bag Recipes
Our most important consideration when creating a recipe is to use high-quality ingredients. For our cooking bag recipes, we always use fresh ingredients (not frozen or canned), such as seasoned or marinated proteins and veggies. While we often use fresh herbs, we also take advantage of the convenience of dried spices and seasonings.
Garlic Chicken with Sliced Potatoes
Chicken and potatoes are comforting in their familiarity. These two items get a tasty reboot by adding smoky paprika seasoning and fresh minced garlic.
After you make it once, you’ll be inspired to try it with different spices and seasonings. Find the recipe here: Garlic Chicken with Sliced Potatoes.
Asian Style Shrimp with Peppers
This recipe will be a hit with those who love the combination of Asian-inspired flavors and shrimp. The main ingredients are shrimp, mushrooms, and multi-colored peppers.

Shrimp Scampi
Shrimp Scampi is a classic Italian American dish with a savory combination of fresh parsley, minced garlic, and butter. A little white wine and lemon juice have the acidity to balance out the rich taste. Because this Shrimp Scampi recipe is so well-known, it’s highly likely this grab-n-go meal idea will be a favorite with your customers.
Steak Fajitas
The marinade sauce for the veggies is what makes this Steak Fajitas recipe extra-special! One way you could switch up this Tex-Mex recipe is to change out the steak for chicken or shrimp.
