Method
Grilled Chicken Salad Box (per box)
Prepare and Cook Chicken
Pat the chicken breast dry. Brush with 1 tbs olive oil and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Preheat a grill pan or outdoor grill to medium-high heat (about 400°F / 200°C). Grill the chicken 4–5 minutes per side, until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes, then slice into 1/4-inch strips.
Assemble Salad
In a disposable salad container, place 2 cups mixed salad greens. Halve 6 cherry tomatoes and scatter over the greens. Thinly slice 1/4 of a cucumber and add on top with 1 tablespoon crumbled feta and very thin slices of 1/16 red onion (a few rings). Place the sliced grilled chicken over the salad. Pack 2 tbs lemon vinaigrette in a small sealed cup and place inside the box to keep salad crisp.
Finish Box
Add one multigrain roll in a separate compartment or wrapped in parchment. Include the fruit, chips, cookie, napkin/cutlery and bottled water in the box. Close box and refrigerate if not served immediately.
Vegetarian Wrap Box (per box)
Prepare Filling
Lay 1 whole wheat tortilla flat. Spread 3 tbs hummus over the center, leaving 1 inch border. Layer 1 cup baby spinach, 3 tbs roasted red pepper strips, 1/4 cup julienned carrot, 1/2 sliced avocado, and 1 tbs crumbled feta. Drizzle 1/2 tbs lemon juice over the avocado and sprinkle 1/8 tsp salt.
Roll and Wrap
Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, fold in the sides, and roll tightly into a burrito-style wrap. Cut in half on a diagonal. Wrap in parchment and secure with a sticker or toothpick to keep closed. Place the wrapped halves in the box.
Finish Box
Alongside the wrap, add the seasonal fruit, chips, cookie, napkin/cutlery and bottled water. Seal box and refrigerate until pickup or delivery.
Box Extras
Choose seasonal fruit portion (a small bunch of grapes, an apple sliced and wrapped to prevent browning with a squeeze of lemon, or a 1/2 cup berries). Place chips in a small bag or compartment to keep them crisp. Pack one cookie wrapped separately to stay fresh. Include napkin/cutlery and bottled water. Ensure all containers are closed and chilled if prepared more than 1 hour before service.
