Quick Weeknight Dinner: Shredded BBQ Chicken Sandwiches
A quick and healthy weeknight meal that takes 30 minutes to throw together, with enough for leftovers to bring for lunch the next day! Top it with sliced radishes for a little crunch and serve it with a side of carrot fries for a perfectly balanced meal.
As part of Meal Planning Week 1, here is a recipe that is both practical and healthy. Practical because this is perfect for bringing as a lunch the next day and healthy because you're going to make this all by yourself!
The radishes give this sandwich a great crunch and a great way to throw more veggies in to your meal!
Instead of starchy potato fries to have with this, try healthy, low-fat Carrot Fries instead!
