I spent my entire life eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for lunch.
Like, seriously, I ate it every day.
Right up I had Gv and started staying home.
Eating PB&J every day gets old, people. It gets old.
But sandwiches are such an easy go-to for lunch, so I'm always trying to come up with some interesting combination (like this or this) to make them more exciting.
I've just created a delicious new sandwich and if you like the ingredients I used at all, you have to try it.
Cook up the spinach and chicken on the weekend and you've got lunch for the whole week!
What You Need
1 chopped onion
3 minced garlic cloves
1 pound spinach
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
plenty of this cheese
a loaf of yummy bread like this
What You Do
1. Cook your onion in some oil until soft. Add in the garlic for a couple of minutes, then add in the spinach until it's all warm and the liquid is just about gone.
2. Make your sandwich. Heap plenty of the spinach mixture on one slice of your bread, then slather the cheese on the other. (Instead of slicing the cheese, I let mine sit for a bit to get all soft and spreadable). Cover the spinach mixture with as much shredded chicken as you'd like.
And there you go - a great alternative sandwich that's healthy and filling!
Do you get tired of eating the same old sandwiches like I do? Do you like fancy versions, like this, or do you prefer your cheesecake plain? I'd love to hear! Either leave a comment below or email me at lisahealy (at) outlook (dot) com.
