The ideal recipe for you if you’re still a little in the holiday spirit…

…but you want something quick, easy, and at the same time nutritious and more!

!!NO MORE FOOD WASTE!!

This meal is a suggestion for making smart use of your Christmas leftovers.

It’s not just a sandwich, but a fully balanced meal that combines:

• A very good source of lean quality protein, such as chicken and low-fat cheese, which will keep you feeling full for a long time. 
• Carbohydrates, which will give you energy, through the toasted warm bread.
• Dietary fiber from the mixed salad, cabbage - carrot, which will offer you, in addition to fiber, the extra nutrients of the vegetables and a feeling of fullness.

All of this will come together with a fresh, low-fat sauce that will give your meal the perfect flavor.

Regarding food waste and your favorite Christmas leftovers…

…there’s no way you won’t have some chicken or turkey left over from your holiday meals.

So, take it out of the fridge, shred it, and follow the remaining steps I’ll tell you, to make this delicious sandwich.

For the chicken

4. Deglaze with white wine and let it evaporate.
5. Add the remaining ingredients, the shredded chicken, and a little water and let them all bind together for a while (we want moisture). When it's ready, set it aside in a dish.
