Killer Chicken Avocado mix

This is one of my favorites and thought I’d post it first. It’s so easy and inexpensive to make for a meal and even easier to add/remove the carbohydrates. The carb intake depends on what time of the day you eat this. Doesn’t matter to me as long as they are healthy carbs. Without further ado, here it is.

6 oz. Grilled Chicken Breast (If you don’t have a grill or Foreman grill, bake it! Season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and a dash of garlic powder)

Half Avocado:  Pitted and diced.  Save the other half for tomorrow.

1/2 Cup Baby Carrots:  (You don’t have to use baby’s.  Cut them kind of small though)

Red Onion:  (Optional)  Take a ring from a red onion and chop into small pieces

1/2 Cup Chick Peas:  (optional)  The chick peas taste great and provide carbs and extra protein.  Get a can from the store for 99 cents.  A can will last you 2-3 servings.

Take all ingredients and toss with extra virgin Olive Oil and a vinegar of your choice (I prefer Balsamic).  Add some low fat croutons if you want to jazz it up.  You’re done!

FYI:  6 ounces of chicken give you about 40 grams of protein.  Adding 1/2 cup of chick peas gives you about 20 grams of carbohydrates as a great and healthy energy source, and also increases your protein intake by 8 grams. 

Shopping Tip:  You can buy your chicken from Costco and get each chicken serving for about a dollar.  This entire meal should cost you $2 and is an inexpensive and delicious way to eat healthy!
