Question

Does anyone have a simple recipe for chicken salad sandwiches? Also, any other ideas for meals? I am sick of cooking the same things and want to try new and healthier recipes.
thanks!

Answer 1

-2 cans canned chicken, or 1 package ready made chicken breast, or 1 lb homemade chopped chicken breast chilled
-2 stalks of diced celery
-1/4 diced onion (optional)
-3 or 4 TBsp mayonaise (low fat or fat free works)
-dash of salt and pepper to taste (optional)
-dash of mrs. dash (optional)
-fresh bread (of your choice = wheat, white, ect.)
-motzerella or american cheese (low fat or fat free works)
mix ingredients together and make the chicken salad. spread chicken salad on 1 slice of bread, put 1 slice of american or motzerella chese. close sandwich.
put in a no stick skillet, or grease a skillet in your method of choice and cook as if it were a grilled cheese.
that makes a chicken salad melt.

Answer 2

The beat ever- Boil chicken breasts. When they are done, cut into cubes. Add Mayonaise, onion, and celery. Also salt and pepper. Toast a French Baguette.Slice into Sub roll length. Stack Lettuce, Tomato and the chicken salad. YUMMY!!!!!

Also easy, Lasagna Casserole:

1lb ground meat, Beef, Turkey whatever you like
1small onion

Fry together with 2 cloves of minced garlic.

Boil, noodles, I prefer, curly ones like radiators, or any noodle with the ruffles on the edges.

Use your favorite jar of speghetti sauce, and add 1C. Ricotta cheese. Mix together and mix in meeat mixture. Pour over sauce. Pour all in baking dish and top with Italian cheeses. Bake 350 for 25 minutes. YUMMY!!

Hope these help. Good Luck

Answer 5

Try a half egg in the morning too or you will be really hungry, swap out the strawberry for a plum. If you don't want to be hungry as much you need fiber (plums, oranges, green apple, peas, peppers cucumbers tomatoes broccoli celery) and a bit of fat (eggs, chicken) in your diet. Other than that just calculate calories you need based on your current weight and eat less than that. Every 3500 less is a pound of weight, so 500 less a day will be a pound a week, 1000 less a day will be 2. As you lose weight you will need less food, so you have to recalculate every so often. NEVER eat when you are not hungry. So if you wake up and you are not hungry for breakfast yet, just save it til you are. Eat slowly even when you are hungry, preferably don't finish your meal in shorter than 20 min.

For simple chicken salad to spread in bread (the above are for fork-eating!), I simple roast or poach breasts, dice the meat up into ½" cubes, add some kosher salt and black pepper, and a dab of mayo. I usually mince a bit of celery for crunch, and if I have them, the green tops of green onions give a nice mild oniony flavor. Sorry, no measurements; just do it til it looks and tastes great!

canned chicken, chopped celery, chopped cucumbers, 1/2 cup of low fat sour cream, and 1/2 cup low fat hidden valley ranch SALT AND PEPPER TO TASTE..VERY GOOD as a sandwich or on bagel crisps as an hor derve.

cook your chicken then pull apart into small pieces or use food processor to grind it up.

Mayo

mix all of it together and you have a easy and tasty chicken salad. Serve on a bed of lettuce with crackers, or sandwich.

You can add celery and other things....but I hate celery
