This summer, while Tim works during the day and is in class from 6-10 PM Monday through Friday, he has graciously suggested having a simple main dish salad for dinner every night.
Oh, how easy and healthy and uncomplicated. Oh, how much I love this man!
So, every night that Tim is home for dinner (Monday - Friday) we are having a huge green salad topped with some type of protein.
For the salads calling for chicken, I simply chop an entire package of chicken tenderloins and divide the cubed chicken into 3-4 containers. I then pour a little homemade marinade or store bought salad dressing into each container and place them in the fridge (or freezer if I do them more than a few days before we'll use them).
I cook the chicken on the stove top, since neither Tim or I have time to grill right now.
