Bento-style Wednesday

Last Tuesday night, Jac rubbed a couple of skinless, boneless chicken thighs in lemon pepper and panfried them. On Wednesday morning it was a simple matter for me to pop them into our lunch boxes.

I’d been in the mood for potato salad, so when Jac baked potatoes for our chicken roulade dinner, I asked her to bake a couple of extra spuds so I could use them for our lunch – keep reading for the “recipe” (it’s not really a recipe!). I sliced Jac’s chicken thigh in half so it would fit into the compartment in the lower right corner and sliced up fresh vegies for a colourful salad.

In the top right compartment is a bag of honey-roasted macadamias, which Jac bought at the markets on Sunday.

Jac asked if I could make her a sandwich as well. She was going to hockey training straight after work and then would be playing in a match afterwards, so she needed extra food to keep her going. :)

I made her sandwich with turkey breast, four fruits berry conserve (because we didn’t have any cranberry jam) and thinly sliced cucumber. When she got home in the evening she said she loved her sandwich! :)

Here’s my lunch box, with the garden salad, chicken and potato salad.

I’ve really been enjoying munching on my big salads.

I ate the chicken cold, and it was really good. Finger-sucking good, in fact.

The potato salad was very simple to make. I peeled the skins off the cold cooked potatoes, then chopped the potatoes roughly into cubes. I sliced some cucumber very thinly. I seasoned the the potatoes and cucumber with a little salt and pepper, then added Neil Perry aioli and mixed it all through. A cheat’s way to make potato salad, but really tasty. The thinly sliced cucumber was my homage to Nippon Fare’s potato salad.
