High Protein Chicken Bagel

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast

• 2 whole-grain bagel (I used the Warburton’s Protein Thin Bagels but any whole-grain will do)

• 2 tablespoons of light cream cheese as a spread (or Greek yogurt)

• 1/4 cup of shredded kale

• 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes

• Olive oil for cooking

• Pinch of salt and pepper to taste

• Your choice of spices or herbs for seasoning the chicken (e.g., paprika, garlic powder, oregano)

You can customise the ingredients to your taste, and it's a great way to incorporate lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains into your diet.

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Grill or Grill Pan:

   • Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.

2. Season the Chicken:

   • Season the chicken breasts with your choice of spices or herbs (paprika, garlic powder or oregano).

3. Grill the Chicken:

   • Grill the chicken breasts for approximately 6-8 minutes per side or until fully cooked. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

   • Once done, set the chicken aside to rest for a few minutes before slicing.

4. Prepare the Bagels:

   • Toast the whole-grain bagels to your liking.

5. Spread the Cream Cheese or Greek Yogurt:

   • Spread a generous layer of light cream cheese or Greek yogurt on each toasted bagel half.

6. Assemble the Bagels:

   • On the bottom half of each bagel, layer the shredded kale and diced tomatoes.

7. Add Grilled Chicken:

   • Place slices of the grilled chicken slices on top of the veggies.

8. Top and Serve:

   • Complete the bagels by placing the other half on top, creating a delicious sandwich.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Enjoy a wholesome, protein-packed meal with a perfect balance of lean protein, vegetables, and whole grains.
