Honey and soy chicken salad in a jar

Welcome back to An appetite for makeup,

Last year I posted a whole week of meals on Slimming world, at that time I had lost 3 stone 2 pound. 

Now I have actually lost 4 stone 11 and a half pounds, slowly but surely getting to where I want to be. 

For today's post, I thought I would show you one of my favourite lunches which is really easy to take to work and can be even made three days in advance.

It's a salad in a jar, and this recipe is a Honey and soy chicken salad in a jar. 

Ingredients - 

1 - Small chicken breast

2 - Slice of bacon, all fat removed

Tomatoes

Mushrooms

Cucumber 

Salad leaves

Soy sauce

Sweetener

Butter fry light

Salad dressing, I used light honey and mustard dressing which is (0.5) syns for a tbsp

A jar - I used the one in the picture however you can up-cycle and old jar for a curry sauce ect.

You can use any salad, but which is what I had in the fridge at the time. 

Method - 

- Firstly, I cut all the fat off the bacon and using scissors chopped it in to a pan, sprayed with butter fry light.

- Next, I chopped a small chicken breast in to small pieces, and added it to the pan.

- I then fried the chicken and bacon off for about 5 minutes.

- I then added a splash of soy sauce and tsp of sweetener.

- I fried that for a few more minutes and then turned off the heat and let it cool completely.

- Once cooled, I added that to the bottom of the jar.

- I chopped the mushroom, tomato and cucumber and added it layers in the jar.

- I then added a tbsp of the light honey and mustard dressing and a dash of soy on top of the cucumbers.

- Finally, I added lots of salad leaves and closed the lid, and place it in the fridge for up to three days.

This salad is perfect for EESP days and it is really filling, I think some chopped spring onions would go really nice with these flavour combinations, however I didn't have any. 

Thankyou for reading, 

Please let me know if you try it and what you think of it.
