What you need

2 lb chicken breast
2 tbsp pesto (Italian batch)
2 tbsp soy sauce (teriyaki batch)
1 tbsp honey (teriyaki batch)
1 lemon (lemon-herb batch)
1 tbsp taco spice (taco batch)
1 lime (taco batch)

How to prep it

Mix 2-3 different marinades in separate bowls — 5 extra minutes, and each flavor unlocks different dinners.
Score the breasts in a crosshatch, about 1/2 inch deep. Split them across the marinades, coat well, rest 30 min (or up to 12 hours in the fridge).
Wrap each breast in parchment like a candy wrapper — twist the ends closed. Bake 20 min at 400-425°F.
Slice thin. Freeze in portions, labeled by flavor, up to 3 months.
