Sometimes all the elements come together and you have sitting before you an absolutely perfect meal. Ever since college lunch as a meal kind of ceased to exist for me, replaced by random snacks throughout the day anchored by a strong breakfast and dinner. Since I have to yet to work a normal 9-5ish job, lunch and I are still not very close. When I do eat lunch though, I want it in the traditional sandwich and chips combo. In a world dominated by fast food and boring sandwiches there is something satisfyingly old fashioned about a solid sandwich.
If really want to treat yourself with a sandwich, chicken salad is the way to go. Please be warned, the following is in no way low calorie but it is worth every work out you must do to justify eating it.
Pictured above is store bough chicken from the one and only wonderland that is Costco on their ciabatta roll. I added freshly sliced tomatoes but other options include sliced grapes, almonds, cranberries or honey. If you are making it from scratch, focus on simple ingredients and quality chicken (leftover rotisserie chicken is perfect). This recipe here is a good base that you can modify to suit your tastes.
Now just pour yourself a classy glass of sparkling water and enjoy a relaxing break wherever you are.
