As I am on the road to a healthier, fitter me I am searching
for healthy meals to make without spending too much money. They say great Abs are
made in the kitchen, am be cooking my way to a six pack on a budget.
So last night, having nothing to eat at home not even unhealthily
stuff I took my soon to be tone butt to the store to see what my options were
in terms of buying a healthy meal without breaking the bank. I decided on a chicken
salad on my way there. So I went straight to the fresh produce section to get
some items then got some chicken. The items for my chicken salad were/are:
·
Chicken (two breasts) N500.00
·
Tomatoes N200.00
·
Lettuce (the
leafy kind) N130.00
·
Yellow bell paper (x1) N150.00
·
Cucumber (already @home) N 50.00
·
Avocado (already @home) N100.00
·
Onions (already @home) N 50.00
In total I spent N980.00 minus the petrol I used up to get
to the store lol.
Anyways…… I prepped my salad by thoroughly washing my
veggies and cutting the bits I will need for just one meal. Then put the rest
away for another meal, imagine N1000.00 for two meals?! I like the bits in my
salads to be chucky so I cut the veggies a tad large. I layered them on to the
plate and put that aside. I then took 1 chicken breast cut into small bits,
seasoned with salt and mixed herbs, then sauté-ed in very little olive oil. Once
it was cooked I let cool for a few minutes and put on the veggies. I used apple
cider vinegar and a little olive oil to dress……. et voila!!!
