Microwavable Lunch Suggestions

Benny added 12 months ago

I do the exact same thing. I typically turn all my left-overs into sandwiches for my weekly lunches and Chicken is what I find myself eating the most throughout the week. I find that I can go to the grocery store, buy a couple whole chickens and spend Sunday prepping them for dinners that make lunch-worthy leftovers for the week. De-bone the birds and make a nice stock, then use the meat for any number of different dishes. Between soups, salads and sandwiches, you can pair chicken with countless amounts of other ingredients for a good variety of lunch worthy food.

I used my leftover chicken and made a "paella" with spanish chorizo, peas, corn etc. Made a great
microwavable lunch. Moist and flavorful.

I cool a big pot of Quinoa on the weekend and turn it into all sorts of salads to take along by adding fresh veggies, fruits, olives, feta and a few simple home made dressings depending on what is in stick. High protein, easy to pack, and cheap.

Indian, Latin, Mediterranean, and Asian cuisines all make for fantastic lunch-able leftovers. Keep some pita pockets, wraps, or tortillas stocked -- chickpea masala in a pita pocket is amazing!

Cooking quinoa (as has been suggested) or other grains is a great way to add some quick protein to a handful of salad greens or as an addition to an impromptu wrap. Casseroles are a great standby for leftovers. Roast a bunch of vegetables and reheat them for the rest of the week.
