Salaam all. In an effort to save some moollla and avoid eating the same unhealthy things I started making lunch and bringing it to work. Now the problem is Im running out of ideas… tired of the same grilled chicken with different seasonings… So please share some of your ideas..
Bear in mind that we want to stay as healthy as possible and away from carbs not totally but avoid high amts.
Since this is a sharing thread I’ll start.
My favorite lunch is a spinach chicken or steak wrap.
I take some frozen spinach and saute it in a pan with cooking spray.
On the other side grill the meat (seasoned anyway you want).
Then I wrap it in tortillas with grilled onion and hot sauce..
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYY..
I make this for dinner but you can def. try it for lunch
sautee some tomatoes, bell peppers, and onions in soy sauce with salt and black pepper (chilli sauce if u like)
boil some chicken and fry it if you like otherwise leave it boiled since it is healthier
get a pocket pita and spread some ranch dressing inside it, stuff it w/ chicken and the veggies, and to it w/ mozarella cheese. Microwave it for 30 seconds or so for the cheese to melt and voila! dinner is ready :)
Can of chicken
Some mayo
Sambal olek (vietnamese pepper sauce)
Mix it in a bowl. How much etc you figure out according to taste.
Slap it between a couple of rye bread slices. You got yourself a good lunch with desi taste.
Has anyone tried Zabihah Halal chicken roasts? They have two different types both made with chicken breast meat. Most stores like Nofrills or Superstore will carry these.
Muniya get the prepackaged deli turkey slices... you can eat 3 and its still only 50 calories from fat.. eat it in bread with jalapenos, lettuce, and cucumbers or to avoid bread altogether, just eat it as a lettuce turkey wrap. Very yummy. And it comes in many flavors... mexican, honey bbq, smoked, bbq, etc..

Get halal salami and make sandwiches using wholemeal bread... add in a bit of salad if u want.
Also; chick peas/ red kidney beans with lemon juice + salt + pepper tastes + chaat masaala tastes good too... and u could add yoghurt to that mixture if u like (only when using chick peas, not the kidney beans)... this is easy coz u can get canned beans in every supermarket.
these are actually halal chicken deli slices…great for making sandiwiches…i like them in onion bun with hot peppers or pickle, lattuce, and little bit of mayo or mustard …yumm
