I know this may sound like a strange combo - but really is super delicious, I promise no cheese taste and no lumps - just lots of protein for energy. The PB masks the cheese taste! I'm not a cottage cheese eater, but it's packed with protein, low cal, and good for you - so I found a way to drink it instead :)
*Makes this about 55 cal less

Heatlhy Chicken & Brown Rice Salad

Easy Poach Chicken can be made into so many meals! Cover boneless skinless chicken breast with water. You can season the water with no salt seasonings: Chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and Mrs. Dash, or any others you choose or just boil in plain water and season later. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer for about 30 minutes. Turn off and on cover and let cool a bit. Shred with 2 forks after cutting through and making sure not pink. Or you can dice up. Cool and store for many dishes from lo-cal Lasagna, salads, wraps, brown rice or quinoa bowls. Just add a little taco sauce, seasonings, Tomato/pizza sauce, enchilada sauce, mustard, salsa, or bbq sauce (careful here*) to the chicken for flavor at low calories and low sugar* (read labels for these requirements*) There is even low-sugar ketchups on the market, available even at your local Wal-Mart!

Brown rice takes a long time to make, but can be made in large batches and keeps in fridge or freezer. OR at Trader Joes they have 90 second brown rice! Sprouts & Trader Joe's regular enchilada bottled sauce has no sugar! So add 1 Tbsp or so to your 90 second rice pack after cooking for some great spanish rice full of fiber!

Now top your chicken and brown rice on top of some romaine lettuce with carrots and purple cabbage and you have one awesome wholesome filling salad! (You can even use ready to go bagged romaine salad mix) ~Enjoy! :) Any questions - just inquire :)
