Chicken & Bean Sprout Salad Lunch Box (370 cal w/pic)

RillSoji · August 2011

Today's lunch was simple and quick to put together. I've got some leftover bean sprout salad and leftover chicken, some strawberries, some easy-made spinach dip and veggies. I also experimented with making chips out of wonton wrappers! They turned out alright but I cooked them just slightly too long so they're dark brown instead of light brown. You really have to watch them closely after you reach the 5 minute mark in the oven. I think I will season them next time too. This time they didn't need it because they were meant to be dipped. All in all, this lunch box only took 15 minutes to put together and it was good and filling!

looks super tasty. recipe saved

and I have made baked chips out of wonton wrappers. I like to drizzle olive oil on them after about 2-3 minutes in the oven and sprinkle garlic powder, a LITTLE garlic salt, and cayenne pepper on them. So tasty!
