This is probably one of the ugliest salads since there is a serious lack of colour as it is completely only beige and green, but do not discount it based on that; it is very healthy and easy to make on days you are in a rush. I love eating this salad as a complete meal for dinner when I am rushing home from school and off to work and it makes great use of any leftover chicken you may have. I used to make this recipe with couscous and to be honest it tasted a lot better with that but to increase the nutritional value I substituted it with quinoa and only use that in the recipe now.
Ingredients:
Romaine Lettuce (around 6 pieces off the stalk or if you have a premix you can use about half of the package)
1/2 of a leftover chicken breast (or if I'm making fresh chicken I like to season it with Jerk Seasoning)
~10 Croutons
Half of a large cucumber slices
1/2 cup of quinoa
1 tbsp olive oil
Lemon Herb Seasoning-I like to use brands with no added salt
Toss this all into a large bowl and eat! Quick, simple and healthy!

Thai Peanut Chicken Skewers
| It doesn't look super appetizing but the picture just doesn't do it justice |
This is probably my all time favourite recipe I
have created so far. I came up with it when I was maybe around 14, and it has
been a family favourite since. I can’t say it’s the healthiest recipe ever, it
has some sodium in it from the soy sauce, but this can be slightly mitigated by
using sodium-reduced soy sauce. Other than that, its pretty healthy and simple
to make, and you can use to it to just marinate your chicken breast, or make it
a little more fun by putting it on skewers.
Ingredients:
2 large chicken breasts
Ginger
2 tsp Red Chili Flakes
Half of a lemon
½ cup Peanut Butter (All-Natural)
2 tbsp water
2 tbsp Soy Sauce (Reduced Sodium)
3 cloves garlic
1 tbsp brown sugar
Step 1: Cut the chicken breasts into long, thin
strips about an inch wide. Place in a bag, or in a container-whatever you use
to keep chicken while it is marinating
Step 3: While chicken is marinating soak around 4-6 long skewers in water, so that they will not burn when being cooked
Step 4: Once the marinating time is up, thread chicken lengthwise onto the skewers. Cook on the convection bake setting at 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
