A healthy yummy chicken salad is perfect for your lunch break.
I try to eat low calorie healthy meals and avoid snacks. So, usually for lunch I eat a big salad with chicken, avocado and fruits.
My favorite, the peachy chipotle chicken salad. It is packed with rice and avocado to keep you satiated. Plus, it has a touch of pan-fried halloumi that will give you the cheesy goodness you probably crave.
