Thai Chopped Chicken Salad (Panera) – a healthy loaded chicken salad packed with roasted veggies and baked wonton wraps plus a guilt-free and delicious homemade dressing with no sugar and made with almond butter. Simply filling and indulgent!

Thai Chopped Chicken Salad (Panera)

After making this Cuatro leches cake, I have no choice but to eat healthy for the next  week or tw0, in order to shred some pounds. I am shame to say, I ate way too much cake. Surpassing the 1-2 servings allowed , I wish I could say that was it. But No, the binge eating continued….. Sad to say it lasted a whole week.

Sometimes, I wonder where my will power is when it comes to certain meals. My clothes are getting a little too tight for comfort.

Now, I have to pay the price.

However, I refuse to eat cardboards.

Thai Chopped Chicken Salad (Panera)

This Panera inspired chicken salad  is one salad that I love making, eating and packing for lunch. It consists of romaine lettuce, carrots, roasted red pepper, almonds, edamame beans, chicken breast, and baked wontons. (You know you can bake your wontons to cut down on the calories). I bake them then and store in a zip lock bag or airtight container.

You can buy store-bought  roast red bell peppers or just roast your own. By the way, did you know that red bell pepper has more nutrients that green bell pepper (about nine times the amount of carotene)? Silly me, I thought it was the opposite. Just another added bonus for this salad.

The salad dressing is easy, healthy and delicious with no sugar and made with almond butter.

Enjoy it.
