Healthy lunch ideas for work
Office lunches are a chore, the novelty of the canteen food dies down when you have the same insipid chicken curry and beef tehari every day. There is no getting around it, and packing your own lunch is the only way to stay on track with your health goals. You can also opt for ready-to-eat box meals, which are now available in Dhaka, but it is preferable if you can pack simple lunches for work. You need a well-balanced meal even for lunch, and it should include lean protein, fibre-rich carbohydrates and vegetables, and healthy fats. Try these simple recipes for next week's work lunches.
Curried chicken salad with toasted almonds
Two cups of cooked chicken are used in this well-seasoned chicken salad. To make this, use store-bought chicken breast, roast your own chicken, or poach some chicken breasts. To prepare chicken breasts, cover 2 to 3 boneless chicken breast halves with water in a saucepan. Bring the chicken to a boil in a large pot over high heat. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Put the chicken on a plate to cool off. Continue with the recipe after the chicken has been cooled.
