It's back to school and I know so many of you are getting your kiddos ready to go back this week, and many of you are teachers going back yourselves! It's time to start packing lunches again.... More meal prep! BUT you've got this, because I have a quick and easy sandwich recipe below that makes 4 servings, has a full serving of veggies, AND a full serving of protein! Definitely put this in your rotation for prepping lunches to make sure your kiddos (and YOU!) stay full throughout the afternoon. Then maybe they won't come home ravenous for snacks either! 😮
Ingredients:
1 lb. raw ground chicken breast
1 medium carrot, grated

2 tsp. olive oil
4 whole-grain ciabatta rolls, cut in half
4 tsp. Dijon mustard
