Rate my Plate : Guacamole Chicken Sandwich

will_i_am's picture

To the average Joe, lunch time might usually means a rush to the nearest fast-food joint to grab a burger and fries. Or for those watching what they eat, a chicken caesar salad loaded with dressing? Somehow, we've gone a little wrong in the past few years with our choices in what we eat, and there's no doubt about it. Of course we're all busy and we don't have any time to make our lunch, let alone our breakfast!

 

So I've made a quick little recipe here, and I hope to continue this trend as a new incorporation of MyFitTribe.
I call it.... "Rate My Plate"

 

There's also no doubt that if we dont take that extra time to even eat our breakfast and make healthier choices, we won't have to worry about getting to work on time, because we won't be able to get out of our bed, sick with the "disease" Obesity.

 

I'm a full time student, and with the program I'm in, we also have to do many clinical hours, and on top of that, I choose to make my health the most important thing, which means every day I'm at the gym, no excuses.
I make a few sandwiches and carry them around with me during the day.

 

So here's a healthy recipe I made in.... 7 minutes. It will take you way less than 5 if you already have the chicken cooked, so that's pretty good I think. I love sandwiches because despite their negative image in the health field, they're really an absolute must.
THey are complex carbs on the outside of the sandwich and in between should be your healthy fats, and of course the meat and potatoes, or in this case, lean protein.

 

 


RECIPE:
GUACAMOLE-STYLE CHICKEN SANDWICH

2 pieces Ezekiel Bread
3.0 oz Chicken Breast
1 tB Guacamole
lettuce

 

 

Directions: You take the chicken and cook it real quick, making sure to slice it thin for the sandwich, which kills two birds with one stone, because now you have small slices, better suited for a sandwich, and you decrease the time needed to cook it.
Toast the pieces of bread slightly while you're cooking the chicken.
Take the lettuce and put it on one slice of toast, and spread the guacamole on the other slice. "Sandwich" the chicken inbetween the toast.
Wa-la!

 

 

So I would like to hear, on a scale of 1 to Perfect (10). Here's how "Rate my plate" should work.
What would you rate this recipe?
How would you improve it?
What are some variations?

My next recipe:
Nature's Power-Peanutbutter Sandwich

I give it an 8/10..because it seems really simple to make and looks delicious. When your on the go, this wouldn't take long to make as the ingredients are simple. You might add more options other than guacamole, because everyone doesn't like guacamole. Another thing, Ezekial bread isn't available at like wal-mart, you would have to go to like a health food store to get it I think. Overall I think its great.
