During the winter months I really try not to pack on the pounds eating all comfort foods! The other trap I seem to get into is grabbing something on the run.
Working long hours, time escapes me. I am too tired and never at that point want to worry about cooking something healthy. I just wanted something filling and fast.
That makes us eat foods that are high in calories with unhealthy quick fixes mostly happening late at night.
This in one of my go to sandwiches which is a complete meal in itself. No matter what time of the day it is, it's easy to digest, filling and healthy.
Perfect for Weight Watching Folks!
There's way less calories in this delicious Chicken Chipotle Avocado Sandwich making it homemade and healthier. I never buy pre made cooked chicken since it's laden ed with unhealthy preservations!I often make several chicken breasts ahead of time. I usually layer wax paper between them, place in freezer bags and then they are ready to make this great sandwich freshly heated up. The best part about doing this, I know exactly what went into every bite!
If you are looking for a delicious sandwich, low calories, heart healthy diet, this is the one to try.
