what can you do with a grilled chicken?

I decided after last week's debaucle of eating things like microwaved veggie burgers (and one unfortunate "quesadilla" made of a tortilla and a slice of swiss cheese... super gross) for every meal that I would start cooking and eating real food. I grilled up a batch of chicken breasts on Tuesday night and have been getting creative ever since.

Here's are two lovely lunch and dinner meals with chicken!


"That Pesty Chicken!"

Pesto Chicken Pasta. Probably the best meal I've ever made. Thanks to Father and Dani for inspiring it... Take one grilled chicken breast (seasoned with lemon pepper and garlic salt and Italian spices), add it to some cooked pasta (I used this DELICIOUS grape-shaped vineyard pasta my Granny gave me this summer), spritz with olive oil, stir in some stir-fried broccoli/carrots/peapods/whatever-veggies-you-like, and add a couple spoonfuls of store-bought (or homemade! But I prefer Trader Joe's) pesto.

"That's A Wrap!"

A chicken avocado spinach swiss wrap. Delicious. And self-explanatory.
Best pressed by a Griddler or panini press!
