Lunch tends to be a tricky meal for me. I don't have time to cook a full meal, which means I need quick, easy, and convenient options. Chicken salad is one of my favorite lunchtime hacks! I like to make a big batch of it at the beginning of the week and then eat it 4-5 days in a row, eliminating the lunchtime struggle of figuring out what to eat while still hitting my goals.
