I had a weight management client with a busy work and social life who didn’t have time to cook. One week she ate out 15 times! I told her about Trader Joe’s Just Chicken and her life was transformed! Just Chicken is just that: 16 ounces of cooked chicken breast, lightly salted. She bought salad greens, Just Chicken and some low-fat dressings as well as some ready-to-eat vegetables and began bringing her lunch to work as well as putting some convenient items together for some dinners. She was a happy camper! And she was able to lower her calories too!
A few quick ways to use Just Chicken:
• Add it to Curry Simmer Sauce and place over cooked spinach
• Add it to heated frozen brown rice, and a mixture of Butternut Squash Soup and Curry Simmer Sauce
• Add it to frozen Biryani, add some chicken broth, a few extra raisins and heat
• Add it to fresh Vegetable Stir Fry and toss with Asian Style Spicy Peanut Dressing
• Or add it to frozen Grilled Eggplant and Zucchini Melangé for a complete meal.
For more great on how to use Just Chicken, as well as other convenient products at Trader Joe’s, get my “Quick and Healthy Meals from Trader Joe’s” cookbook (all entrees) on this site or at Amazon or Barnes and Noble. My new cookbook featuring lots of new convenient recipes, menus and shopping lists that will help you get or stay lean is coming soon! Stay tuned!
