Recipe Note
- Purchase pre-cut melon for added convenience.
- If choices of chicken and pre-portioned snacks are limited at your grocery store, check with online retailers, such as Amazon.
- If you have leftover cooked chicken breast (or turkey breast), you can chop or shred it up and use it too! If it’s a little dry, mix it in a bowl with a little water, broth, balsamic or seasoned vinegar, or a little fat-free salad dressing (not included in nutritional analysis).
