Mean Green Salad w/ Chicken

Mean Green Salad w/ Chicken

You will need:

3 Frozen chicken strips, thawed

3 eggs

Kale

Broccoli

Cucumber

Shredded cheddar-jack & Monterey cheese

Cheese & Garlic croutons

Salt

Pepper

Garlic powder

Basil

Makes 1 serving. For 2 servings just double ingredients.

I did not measure anything out except my salad dressing. I didn't find it necessary.

Lightly and evenly season 3 chicken strips w/ salt, pepper, garlic powder and basil on both sides. Cover with foil and bake for 20-30 minutes on 375°f

Boil your eggs

Once the chicken is done, cut it up however you'd like 

Put about a handful and a half of kale onto a plate. Then cut broccoli and about 8-10 cucumber slices and add it on top of the kale.

 

Next add chicken, eggs, cheese and croutons.

 

Almost forgot the eggs lol! Now you're ready to eat! Just add dressing of your choice. For this particular salad I like to use light ranch. About 2 tbsp

ENJOY!!!

This is coming with a total of 33 calories, 6 grams of carbs (2 of which are fiber) and 3 grams of protein.

Kale contains very little fat, but a large portion of the fat in it is the omega-3 fatty acid called alpha linolenic acid.

Given the incredibly low calorie content, kale is among the most nutrient dense foods in existence. Eating more kale is a great way to dramatically increase the total nutrient content of your diet.
