My 3 Go-To Lunch Recipes

I want to start by saying I am not a chef by any means. I try to use versatile and inexpensive ingredients to make my lunches, and I usually try to make things that don't take too much time to prepare. All that being said, I hope this post will give you some ideas!

1. Buffalo Chicken Mac n' Cheese

This is one of my absolute favorite I will easily eat this dish 3 to 4 times a week. I use broiled chicken, organic mac n cheese, and just a few crunchy bread crumbs and a little hot sauce, so it's definitely lighter than some gourmet mac n cheeses you get at restaurants.

For this recipe I use:

• pre-cooked chicken breast (I usually cook 2-3 breasts at the beginning of the week to use for lunches)

• whole wheat panko crumbs

• mac n cheese of your choice (I use Annie's white cheddar mac)

• garlic powder

• hot/wing sauce of your choice

Directions:

• Make your mac n cheese!

• Warm up your chicken in a separate bowl

• Once your mac n cheese is made, mix in a little bit of garlic power

• mix your mac n cheese and warmed chicken together

• sprinkle panko crumbs and drizzle on some buffalo sauce

2. Chicken and Cheese Panini

I love having this sandwich with some chips. It's so much fun to kinda make your own, and switch it up every now and then

Ingredients I use:

• Bread of your choice

• Swiss cheese

• Condiment(s) of choice (I use honey mustard or garlic buffalo ranch)

• Chicken! I use sliced chicken breast but you can also find carving board chicken in the deli meat section at the grocery store

• Butter

• other things to add: avocado, lettuce, tomato

How to put it together:

• Pre heat either your panini maker or your skillet

• Butter the outside of your bread

• Layer your sandwich ingredients

• Grill it or put it in your panini maker and viola!

3. Caesar Salad

This one is definitely the easiest lunch. I buy these pre-made in the produce section at Weggies. They have so many options for prepackaged salads, but the caesar is definitely my favorite. Sometimes I will add a hardboiled egg and I always add more croutons

Thank you for reading, I hope you enjoyed!!
