For some reason, this meal reminds me of my dad. He loved to eat leftover turkey on toast with gravy on top. The other day, I decided to channel this into my own lunch.
Serves 1
🥄 2 – 3 slices whole grain bread, toasted
🥄 ¾ c shredded chicken breast, reheated
🥄 2 – 3 tbsp gravy
So let’s talk now about how I made sure that this lunch would match up with my nutritional goals.
First, I used whole grain bread. I wanted three slices, so I used to this great “Little Big Bread” by Silver Hills. The slices are still a good size, and only 55 kcal per slice! Woohoo!
Second, I loaded up on the shredded chicken breast. This is one of the leanest protein sources going.
Third, I used a packet of low sodium Swiss Chalet chicken gravy. I am 100% aware that whole foods are better, and that packets of gravy are not a good ongoing choice. But, I used it in moderation, and it helped me to bring together a favourite meal in no time flat. So, I decided it was worth the trade off.
