- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Diet: High-Protein
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced or cubed
- 2 cups chopped Romaine lettuce
- 2 tablespoons Caesar dressing (stored in a small container)
- 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup large croutons
- 1 hard-boiled egg, halved
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1/2 cup fresh grapes or apple slices
- A lemon wedge for extra zing
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Salad Base
Wash and thoroughly dry the Romaine lettuce. It is important the lettuce is dry so it stays crisp. Place the chopped lettuce into the largest compartment of your bento box. - Step 2: Add the Protein
Lay the sliced or cubed cooked chicken breast on top of the lettuce. Place the two halves of the hard-boiled egg in a corner of the main compartment or in a smaller side section. - Step 3: Organize the Toppings
Place the cherry tomatoes in a small divider. Put the croutons in a separate dry compartment or a small reusable bag to keep them from getting soft from the moisture of the vegetables. - Step 4: Secure the Dressing
Pour your favorite Caesar dressing into a small, leak-proof condiment container. Nest it inside the bento box. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese directly over the chicken or keep it in a small separate spot. - Step 5: Add the Side and Garnish
Fill the remaining small compartment with fresh grapes or apple slices for a sweet finish. Add a lemon wedge next to the chicken to squeeze over the salad right before eating.
