You'd think it would be easy cooking for someone who, when you ask, "what do you want to eat?" the reply is almost always "Whatever, I don't care." But it's not as easy as it sounds!
Today for lunch I had a craving for something a little out of the ordinary and Alex didn't have a preference for anything in particular, so I made a Chicken Salad sandwich with Curry and Turmeric.
Although I've had chicken salad before, this was the first time I've ever made it. I thought I'd add some curry and turmeric to the chicken before baking it, and it turned out really great.
I think Alex even enjoyed it!
Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich (approx. 300-325 calories)
1 chicken breast
1/8 tsp. curry
pinch turmeric
2 stalks celery
2 green onions
1/4 cup green pepper
1/2 tomato
1 - 2 TBSP light mayo
salt and pepper to taste
Cut the chicken into small pieces sprinkle with curry and turmeric, bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until done. Let cool completely.
Cut up all the veggies and toss in a bowl with mayo, salt and pepper. Once the chicken is completely cooled mix with the rest of the ingredients. Serve on whole grain bread or in a whole grain wrap top with lettuce. Enjoy!
