The frozen one pound bag of "just chicken strips" at Trader Joe's.
It's already cooked.

Handful of the frozen chicken strips, cup of frozen vegetables and
about two tablespoons of tomato sauce (I use regular, I just count the
carbs) in a tupperware type container, and I've got my lunch to take
with me (wherever there's a microwave). I was making salads, but when
I have a long day ahead, salads usually aren't quite very tasty by the
time I eat them.

salad tip - don't put dressing on it till you eat it. DH takes one almost
everyday and puts it in the fridge at work. He has romaine with George
Forman'd chicken breast cut up. he uses bottled caeser dressing. it has
sugar listed but less than 1g per serving and had no effect on his weight
loss.

I buy frozen grilled chicken strips at "Smart and Final." It is very
convenient. My dog loves 'em.

I just bought some of those yesterday at Sam's. They are SO convenient
for me because I don't always feel like cooking a chicken breast when
I want a salad with chicken...LOL The strips are the perfect solution.
They thaw in the microwave in less than a minute.

Actually, I don't even use dressing to speak of anymore, and when I do
use dressing, I ask for oil and vinegar. At home, I use olive oil with
a dash of lemon juice, and a little black pepper. It's amazing how our
eating habits change!! But because salad greens taste considerably
sweeter to me now, and because I put meat on my salads now (to make it
a complete meal), dressing just is overkill.

I do not even use vinegar or lemon juice any more. 1 tablespoon of good
quality olive oil on my *really big* salad is good enough for me.

I finally found the hydrophonic heads of Boston lettuce today. I had been
wondering when they would be back in my local store again. It seems to be
an occasional thing and with them no washing salad greens is involved. Just
remove the root stem, add with other salad veggies and enjoy. :-)

They also make a great Buffalo Chicken Salad. You can coat them with
Frank's hot sauce and toss over a salad with some blue cheese
dressing. Or saute some vegs, add the chicken and Atkins Terriyaki
Sauce.
