Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast

 

We recently had the opportunity to try the Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast products. I admit that we don’t tend to buy pre-cooked meat as it is more expensive but we have learned that a budget isn’t always about money. A budget can be about time too. Working with products such as Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breasts allow us to still eat at home and know what we eating while staying in our budget. Since we try not to make meat the primary portion of our meals, we can use one chicken breast and feed our family of five! First here is the Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast …

 

We loved that they are individually wrapped. You can even warm them in the microwave using the directions on the packaging. With 100 degree heat here, it is great to not heat the house up with oven!

So how do we take one chicken breast and feed the family of five? Remember the Cobb Salad Recipe I posted a few days ago? That recipe. Here is a fourth rendition of that recipe for you …

topped with Hillshire Farm Grilled Chicken Breast … mmmm.

Meatless Monday: Salad Wrap

When we do Meatless Monday, we are so focused on our dinner being meatless, that I actually forget about keep meat out of lunch sometimes.  To keep us on track a bit, we are going to start working on some easy lunch and snack options.  Today’s efforts?  Salad Wraps!

We all love wraps!  No recipes here.  Just take a tortilla, pile some salad, cheese, hard-boiled eggs, etc. in the middle, top with some dressing, and wrap it all up!  I love that it can be a little different everyday.  Maybe I’d like to have hard boiled eggs one day or add a little bite with a Buffalo Ranch dressing.  Serve with a side of chips or a pickle and you’ve got a healthy, meatless lunch.  Enjoy!

Meatless Monday, a national nonprofit public health initiative, is all about incorporating more vegetables and less meat into our diet.  It’s about moderation, just one day a week, cutting down on meats high in saturated fat and increasing protein-rich plant-based foods — good for personal health and good for the planet.
