Chicken Hummus Power Bowl

This is based on the Panera Salad.  This is a fairly low calorie meal and it is extremely filling.  You can use store bought hummus or you can find my hummus recipe here.  Try to stay away from any salad dressing or anything like that.  You can use some fresh lemon over the top, but no dressing - it really doesn't need it anyway.  If you would like to make this dish truly vegan, you can replace the chicken with sliced avocado.  The recipe as listed is approximately 387 calories and 13 grams of fat.

• 1 Cup Spinach
• 1/2 Sliced Cucumber
• 3 Tbs Diced Tomatoes
• 4 oz. Chicken
• 1/4 Cup Hummus

DIRECTIONS

• 1
  Layer spinach on a plate.

Chili

This recipe was adopted from Cindy Wilkens.  I met Cindy a few years ago.  She was in town selling her chili packets at a show.  I got the recipe from Food Network and made some slight variations to it.  The chili itself is pretty thick, but very good.  It makes a great 3 way (get your mind out of the gutter. That's Cincinnati speak for Chili and Spaghetti w/Cheese) and also works well for coneys.  If you would like to make this into Cincinnati Chili, just blend it when you're finished and it will give you the same texture.  I don't add beans, but you can add black beans to give it a little extra.

I usually add pictures of recipes and I will try to add some of this later.  But, this is pretty straight forward and just about everyone knows what chili is supposed to look like.
