Bought roast chicken two days ago and have leftover. I bought pane di casa, salami, tomato, and cucumber. Weekend meal is simple colourful bread.

“Yes, bought roast chicken can be a healthy choice, providing high-quality protein and essential nutrients like B vitamins and zinc; however, its healthiness varies with preparation, as store-bought versions may contain high sodium and fats, especially in the skin. To enhance its health benefits, opt for lower-sodium varieties, remove the skin, and pair it with nutritious options like vegetables and whole grains, making it a convenient meal that supports muscle maintenance and essential bodily functions.”

“Pane di casa is a traditional Italian loaf known as “house bread,” which typically has a rustic, crusty exterior and a soft, chewy interior. It’s a versatile bread used for sandwiches, dipping in olive oil, or accompanying Italian dishes.” 

“Tomatoes and cucumbers are low-calorie, nutrient-dense vegetables that offer hydration and antioxidants. Tomatoes are high in lycopene and vitamins A, C, and K, while cucumbers are mainly water (about 95%) and provide vitamin K, potassium, and magnesium. Together, they support heart health, weight management, and immunity, although some practices caution against their combination due to digestive differences. The nutrients in both vegetables contribute to cardiovascular health, boost the immune system, and aid digestion.”

I am glad that I got some chicken pieces to eat. My meal is healthy, must have chili sauce and delicious. Let’s create healthy meal!!!
