1 Roasted Chicken, 3 Healthy Meals

1. Quinoa Burrito Bowl

I know, burrito bowls, they’re everywhere.. but it’s because they’re awesome!

You can toss the roasted chicken with a few Mexican-ish spices, like cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika and garlic powder.

For a loaded burrito bowl, you’ll need:

• cooked quinoa (about 1 cup, I use the instant pot for quick and easy cooking with no mess)

• black or pinto beans (drained and rinsed)

• shredded chicken

• chopped tomatoes

• diced red onion

• sweet corn

• fresh cilantro

• avocado chunks or guacamole

2. Easy Chopped Chicken Salad

This meal is great to add in any left over veggies, berries, dried fruit or bacon!

For the basics, you’ll need:

• lettuce chopped into nice bite sized pieces

• shredded chicken, chopped into pieces

• tomatoes, chopped

• orange bell pepper, chopped

• almonds, halved or sliced

• lots of salt and pepper

• dressing of your choice

The key here is to chop all the ingredients into semi-uniform pieces, including the lettuce. Sseason the lettuce well with salt and pepper, then toss everything together in a bowl. Add your favorite dressing and voila!

3. Open-Faced Roasted Chicken BLT

For an Open-Faced Roasted Chicken BLT, you’ll need:

• toast! I’m loving the “sprouted” bread with extra seeds, adds flavour and crunch in each bite.

• a yummy spread, like mayo, pesto mayo or chipotle mayo

• shredded chicken

• three or four slices of cooked bacon

• chopped tomatoes

• snipped chives or shredded lettuce

I like to spread the mayo on the toast, top it with the chicken, then bacon, and finish with the tomatoes and chives or lettuce. Feel free to toss your chicken with some salt, pepper or garlic powder for some extra flavour.
