Speedy question for you on this hump diggity day.
YAY or NAY on lunch?
We get that lunch is a necessary meal when it comes to business meetings or providing nutrition for kids while at school. But other than that, we are lost on the art of lunch. Maybe we're missing something? Please tell us because as of this moment we are on team lunch NAY.
More than anything we hate the process of stopping our day to slug back a meal. We would much rather have a speedy snack and keep going. Truth: if we could eat a meal at 10am, have a midday snack, and dinner at 7pm we would a happy camper. Is there a food board that we could advocate our meal concerns too?
Anyways, if you have thoughts on why lunch should be a priority, we are all ears! Now that we've got that off our chest, let’s chat about todays savory recipe: Loaded Bacon & Kimchi Chicken Salad Sandwich. We like to think of this salad as an upgraded version of the grape, celery, walnut chicken salad that our mother always ate growing up. Don’t get us wrong. Luvvvvvv us some old school chicken salad, but home girl here is always about upgrading.
This version has some of our favorite ingredients. Can we get a whut-whut for some rotisserie chicken, Sriracha, mayonnaise, lime juice, scallions, bacon, and tomatoes? If you wanted to kick this sandwich up a notch you could definitely add a fried egg. Actually, we seriously might have to make these for brunch this weekend because DAMN. Runny egg is where it’s at.
Besides the flavors this sandwich is simple to put together. Mix the sauce in the food processor and fold in the chicken. Then start layering in the bacon, lettuce, and egg for good measure. BOOM. Breakfast, lunch (<—-maybe?), and dinner approved sandwich ready lickety-split.
