A Few More Lunch Ideas!


Lunch



Chicken:
Buy a whole pre-made rotisserie chicken and use it for chicken sandwiches, chicken salad, or to slice on top of your salad.
·      Note: the serving size for meat should be the size and thickness of the palm of your hand.

Chicken Sandwich Number One
Ingredients: Chicken, 2 large basil leaves, serving size of cheese of your choice, 4 broccoli florets, tomatoes to your liking, pinch of salt and pepper, one tablespoon of olive oil, wrap or 2 slice of bread
1.)   Slice a serving size of chicken off the bone and cut into small bite size pieces
2.)   Rinse and chop basil
3.)   Cut cheese into small pieces
4.)   Cut tomatoes
5.)   Chop broccoli into pieces
6.)   Add all ingredients together in a bowl and mix
7.)   Add pinch of salt and pepper and tablespoon of olive oil and mix again
8.)   Put onto sandwich and enjoy


Chicken Sandwich Number Two
Ingredients: 1 Apple, 1 carrot, one tablespoon of mayonnaise or tablespoon of olive oil, pinch of pepper, wrap or 2 slices of bread

1.)   Slice a serving size of chicken off the bone and cut into small bite size pieces
2.)   Peel and cut apple into small pieces (use about half the apple)
3.)   Peel and cut carrot

Egg Salad
Ingredients:  1 hard-boiled egg, carrot, 4 broccoli florets, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, pinch of pepper
1.)   Hard boil egg – place egg in a pot and when water comes to a boil leave the egg in for 10 minutes.  When finished boiling rinse with cold water and let it sit in cold water a few minutes before you peel (these are also great to make ahead of time to just leave in the refrigerator)
2.)   When egg is cooled off peel and cut into bite size pieces
3.)   Peel and cut carrot
4.)   Rinse and cut broccoli florets into small pieces
5.)   Put all ingredients in a bowl, add mayonnaise and pepper and mix

Get creative and feed your soul!


Note:  All sandwiches and wraps should be made on Ezekiel / Food for Life bread or wraps.  This product can be found in the frozen food section of most grocery stores.


Stay tuned for more creative lunch ideas!
