Chicken ideas for lunch

kirstens1984

Hi, I wondered if anyone has some good ideas for lunches to take to work (I have a fridge at work but no microwave or anything to heat things up) - I've cooked a chicken breast today for tomorrow's lunch to save me time this evening, but looking for inspiration for what to put with it? Bit fed up of dull salads! I love spices and flavours so not afraid to be adventurous with it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions! x

Chicken, baked potato or sweet potato fries, some veggies

chicken, hummus, lettuce and whatever else you want wrapped in a tortilla wrap. Maybe an apple or string cheese with it

chicken, rice, veggies

Chicken avocado sandwich

Lettuce, carrots, peppers, seasonings, chicken and a poached egg on top

Boiled egg, chicken, veggies

Couscous mixed with veg and chicken - add in some moroccan spices for yumminess.

Mexican chicken.
Ill cook up 3-4 at a time,just pour some salsa on top during cooking,and then add a bit of shredded cheese the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Or throw the breasts in the slow cooker with some spices or bbq sauce for pulled chicken- great on a bun,in a wrap or on a salad.

Low Carb Smothered Jalapeno Popper Chicken
Ingredients
6 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breast
salt and pepper to taste
For the Jalapeno Popper Layer
1/4 cup jalapeno slices, diced (the kind in the jar that you put on nachos)
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup low fat mayonnaise
1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan
For the Topping
1/2 cup Kraft grated Parmesan Cheese
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place chicken breast in a 13×9 casserole dish and bake until juices run clear. 30-40 minutes, depending on the size of the breast. While chicken is baking, mix jalapenos, cream cheese, low fat mayonnaise and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined. Remove chicken from oven and reduce to 350 degrees. Spread jalapeno popper mixture all over each Chicken breast until well covered.
For the topping Parmesan cheese Sprinkle on top of jalapeno popper topped chicken. Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. ENJOY!!!

I made a chicken salad type thing the other day. Chicken breast, hard boiled egg, grapes, cashews, kale, olive oil, and some spicy avocado hummus. My wife had it over spinach and my son had it in a sandwich. They SAID they liked it.

I make Buffalo chicken salad (I think I found the recipe here on MFP). Mix 2 T Bolthouse Farms Chunky Blue Cheese dressing and 1 T Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Wings sauce with 3 oz diced chicken and a handful of diced celery. Add more/less dressing and hot sauce to taste. I eat it on a Tumaro low-cal, high fiber wrap with lettuce or spinach and maybe some tomato and shredded carrot. So yummy!

I always add either hummus or salsa. Or beans and salsa with cooked quinoa or rice (I like easy as you can see lol).
