🍲 Ingredients
Brown Lentils – Brown lentils are bigger than other lentil types which means they hold their shape well when cooking. These are perfect for salads to really maintain the best consistency for your dish. Lentils are also rich in nutrients like fiber, iron, folate, and of course, protein Cooked Chicken – You can use chicken breast, thigh, or even ground chicken here. You can also use shredded rotisserie chicken or whatever you have leftover in the fridge. Chicken is a lean, healthy protein that I love to add to salads and bowls to make them a more well-rounded, filling meal
