It was going to be accompanied by the zuchinni, spinach and red bell peppers with pesto over noodles. I'm working very hard on eating a more healthily (and really trying to lose weight) and my leftover recipes do not qualify (chicken pot pie and bbq chicken sandwiches). I am stumped. Feel free to give links - I did a search but came up empty handed. I know this is an often asked question, so my searching must be off. Thanks.

You can have a side of black beans, and as much salsa as you want. I also buy that fat free sour cream to put on the side too.

I'm in FL, I see you are too-- so we have them year round) or whatever fresh salad ingredients you can find...and whisk up a home-made dressing, possibly balsamic vinegar, evoo, a little crushed fresh garlic, dab of whole grain mustard and a drop of honey.

I'd also make a quesadilla with it; but we have a lot of mexican influence here in LA. You can also make a light chicken salad using non-fat yogurt, and mix with some dried cranberries or cherries, slivered almonds & tarragon. But, there I go again, rec'ing something that's not especially lo-fat!!

Add a handful of chickpeas,your zucchini and peppers, and some hearts of palm. Top with a homemade dressing- maybe a roasted garlic vinaigrette. I send my husband a variation of this salad for lunch.. and he always loves it . If you want some crunch, cut wonton squares into strips and bake. Less calories than chips and more satisfying than a piece of bread.

But the components are: chopped or shredded roast chicken chopped rosemary chopped red onion and celery (to taste) lowfat yogurt (I think the original used all mayo, but I like the tang and healthfulness of yogurt) lowfat mayo chopped smoked almonds ground pepper soooo yummy!
