Take The Fear Out Of The Kitchen
Chicken Salad 4 people
Ingredients: 2 cooked chicken breast, half an iceberg lettuce, 2 tomatoes, half a cucumber, 1 large carrot, 1 green pepper, 1 bunch of parsley.
Method :Slice up 1 skinless cooked chicken breast.Then take the stem off the lettuce and rip it up,rinse and put on a white plate.Next top and tail the cucumber,take the eyes out of the tomatoes,cut up and wash the salad and add to the plates.Next peel,top and tail the carrot,wash and grate it,then slice the pepper and wash the parsley. Add the sprinkled grated carrot,sliced cooked chicken,peppers and parsley. You now have a healthy salad.Remember a salad can become as fatty as a bag of chips if you start having mayonnaise,cream,butter on bread etc. So if you are hungry have a bigger salad. You will probably lose weight as it is mostly water,but fills you up.
