Lunch in a Crunch

For me three meals a day is a must. Some people can skip them but if I am hungry I can't focus on anything else. So here is a cheap and easy meal that will last a few days.

Micah's Chicken Salad:
1 pack of Chicken breasts (3)
1/4 Red onion
1/4 White onion
3 tbsp Canola oil

1/8 cup Green onion
2 tbsp Mayo
1/8 cup Craisins

Directions:
Dice up the chicken breasts into small chunks, I made ~ 8 chunks per breast. Mix chicken, half of your red onion, and all of your white onion with the canola oil in a bowl. Let this sit for 5 minutes to soak up the oil. Then pour into a skillet pan (image bellow is rare chicken) and cook up until chicken is no longer pink in the inside.

Once the chicken is cooked thoroughly allow to cool. I have always discarded the original onion cooked up with the chicken because the flavor has been infused into the chicken in the cooking process. I then take the cooked chicken and dice up into smaller bits. I chop up the remaining red onion and green onion and place into a bowl with the chicken. At this point you may add the Craisins and Mayo into that mixing bowl and mash everything up.

At this point you can serve the chicken salad however you want, in a wrap with lettuce and tomato, on a bed of lettuce as a salad, the possibilities are endless depending on how creative you would like to be. Today I was in the mood for a bagel so I made myself a chicken salad sandwich on a bagel accompanied with a Chobani yogurt for a nice complete meal. All your costs for materials involved in making the chicken salad will come to ~$14 but you'll have servings for at least 3 meals!

Enjoy and Bon Appetit!
