Chicken Quesadillas

...how do I incorporate healthy grains at lunch that don't taste like cardboard?

My husband has been recently diagnosed with high cholesterol - however some changes in his diet should be all that is needed. Because of this I have been searching for great tasting ways to incorporate ingredients that lower cholesterol & avoid the "bad stuff" as much as we can. Because of this I have fallen in love with Kontos multi grain flatbreads.

Chicken Salad Flatbreads

...how do I make sandwiches fun again?

My husband & I are both very fortunate that we share our lunch hour at the same time & work minutes from home. This allows us to have a more satisfying meal & gives me more daylight to photograph my concoctions. I found this recipe while trying to decide on yet another alternative to "the sandwich". I often discover simple & flavourful recipes on allrecipes.com & sure enough this is where I found my husbands new favourite chicken salad recipe! Pairing it up with my favourite healthy (yet delicious!) flat breads made for a quick & appetizing lunch. I store the chicken mixture in my fridge up to 3 days between the two of us.
