You know those giant vats of precooked, canned chicken breast you can buy from Costco? I buy them all the time.
The problem?
I never know what to do with them. I mean, other than the obvious–mash in mayo and kinda make a tuna sandwich (only with chicken). Chicken Salad Sandwiches are nice and such. But they’re so much better on bread than on spoons. And I’m plum positive about bread-free eating these days.
So, what’s left for those of us who need to make dinner, stat. Who want to make dinner, stat. And who have a keg of canned chicken?
Bacon Lettuce Avocado Tomato Lettuce Wraps, girls. Because, we sweg like that.
My kids have blushed a nugget more than enough time over my usage of the word “sweg.” W-evs. I’m a hipster mom like that.
Actually, I was quite surprised the other day when my youngest admitted that we are the “Ultimate Hipster Family.” She claimed place as the resident artiste. Noted that The Boyfriend was a vintage-truck-driving fellow, and laid claim upon my “coolness.” Hullo. Apparently it’s time I buy more scarves and start sipping latte’s.
I’ll also need to attempt more Hipster Coolness. I’m far to high-strung to be cool enough to hipsterize. Though, this dinner is a start. It’s quick and paleo. Taco-like for picky kids. Doesn’t require a snit of oven heating, and comes together quick, especially if you’ve got yerself some Basic Pantry ingredients.
Just toss, serve, sweg. We chill like that. (Or. Whatever.)
