In an effort to same some cash money and even some calories, I have committed to packing my lunch. After eating out for lunch every day for almost 8 years, this has proven to be a difficult habit to break in the past, until the last 11 days!! I have packed my lunch for the past 11 days ya'all! In my days of eating out I looked at packing a lunch like the most difficult task ever, but really, with a wee bit of planning, it is really quite an easy thing to do. This Chinese chicken salad recipe is a great go to for lunch packing, comes together in a flash, and stays good in the fridge. I packed it three days in a row! Really it couldn't be easier, or healthier!
Servings: 5

Ingredients
1 16 oz package of broccoli slaw (easy to find at Trader Joes)
1 small can of mandarin oranges
1 cup diced scallions, white and green parts
12 oz cooked chicken breast, skin removed (you could use rotisserie)
3/4 cup how fat sesame salad dressing (I used Newman's Own Lighten Up!)
Directions
In a large bowl mix together first four ingredients. Pour on dressing and stir. This salad is served cold. Place one serving of this delish salad in a Flat Out light wrap and pack away for a tasty lunch!
Tip
I can never ever remember a simple way to roast a chicken breast. I think I have finally figured it out. For a recipe like this, simple salt and pepper a chicken breast and bake at 350 for 30 mins. That's it people! Super easy but still a lot of flavor.
