Okay, Right off the bat if you put these in Croissants, there go the healthy factor, but in my opinion it is totally worth it. This is also good in whole wheat pita pockets, or on whole wheat bread, also, just on top of a salad if you are trying to save on carbs.
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or diced
1 small bunch of green onions chopped
2-3 celery stalks chopped in small pieces
1/2 pk softened cream cheese
1/2-1 C mayo
garlic salt and pepper to taste
Quite often I add red grapes halved, and eat it for lunch wrapped up in leaf lettuce, or on whole wheat bread. I have made this a few times for showers or big family gatherings and put it on croissants. It is good, really good, every time.
*When I am just having it at home for lunches I sometimes use canned turkey breast - it is fast and easy and just as healthy and delicious.

Taco Salad
1 pound lean ground beef, or lean ground turkey, browned.
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 bag salad mix
1 can corn
1 can black beans
1 green pepper diced
1 red pepper diced
1 tomato diced
cheddar cheese
pepper jack cheese
crushed tortilla chips
salsa
ranch dressing
Brown 1 pound lean ground beef, or lean ground turkey (both are good, however we like ground turkey because it is healthier). Drain off fat and rinse meat, return to sauce pan and season with taco seasoning and about a 1/2 C water. Simmer until water cooks off. Add to large bowl with rest of salad ingredients, and toss lightly. Add to personal plate crushed tortilla chips and top with salsa and ranch dressing. A meal in and of itself. Minus out the chips and ranch dressing to save on carbohydrates and fat.

Breaded Onion Chicken
1 pouch dry onion soup mix
3/4 C dry bread crumbs
1 T Parmesan cheese
1/8 t. pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 eggs beaten
Dip breasts in beaten eggs, then coat with bread crumb mixture. Bake at 400 for 20-30 min. This recipe is about a 10 minute prep time. While chicken is baking we like to prepare steamed asparagus and a side salad with it. It is so delicious, and low fat as well.
