Description

This incredibly simple lunch recipe is ideal for anyone seeking a quick and satisfying meal. Requiring very little preparation time, it’s perfect for busy days and easily integrates into a meal prepping routine. Rather than intricate cooking processes, this recipe emphasizes fresh, straightforward ingredients.

Picture a delightful combination of savory deli meat, creamy cheese, crunchy nuts and seeds, and the smooth richness of avocado. The possibilities for customization are endless. For the cheese component, consider a variety of options beyond string cheese.

Mild mozzarella or sharp provolone offer interesting alternatives, each contributing its own distinct flavor profile. The beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. Feel free to experiment with different ingredients to keep things exciting and ensure a diverse range of nutrients.

Explore the world of deli meats – perhaps thinly sliced turkey, savory ham, or tender roast beef. Each offers a unique taste that complements the other elements of the dish. The nut and seed mixture can also be tailored to your preferences.

Crunchy cashews, buttery pecans, or pepitas provide varied textures and flavors that enhance the overall experience. Even the avocado can be swapped out if desired. If you're not a fan of plain avocado, consider substituting with cubes of cheddar cheese for a tangy bite, or gently sautéed zucchini slices in olive oil or coconut oil for a hint of subtle sweetness.

A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil over the vegetables adds a touch of richness and brings out their natural flavors. This lunch offers a symphony of textures and tastes – the saltiness of the meat, the creaminess of the avocado or cheese, and the satisfying crunch of the nuts and seeds create a delightful and well-rounded meal. It's a simple yet elegant way to nourish your body and tantalize your taste buds without spending hours in the kitchen.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Lay chicken slices and place a piece of string cheese on each slice. Roll the cheese in the chicken, and place them on a parchment-lined sheet tray.
    2.
    Bake the wrapped string cheese for 8-10 minutes, watching for the cheese to melt slightly. Be careful not to overcook.
    3.
    While the cheese bakes, make the warm granola. Add almonds, walnuts, and sunflower seeds to a small pan. Toast over low heat for about 2 minutes until fragrant.
    4.
    Arrange the warm chicken and cheese sticks, granola, and cubed avocado on a serving plate. Sprinkle a pinch of salt over the avocado. Serve as finger food or with silverware.
