Baked
Chicken Salad Recipe.

Serving
Suggestions:
1. If cooking brown rice, start
the rice at the same time
you put the chicken in the oven as it takes about 40-45 minutes to cook. Tip:
You can put the chicken in the oven and simmer the rice and go out for a walk or
do some other fun activity while your meal cooks itself!
2. By serving your meal on a salad plate
rather than a larger dinner plate it
will seem like you are eating more food than you actually are.
3. A little bit of lemon juice brings out the flavor of the food you sprinkle it
on. Enjoy!
Congratulations on eating healthy!!
