Although Nutrisystem meals are already nutritious, delicious and full of flavor, we love to have some fun and transform them into new and improved creations. Take our Grilled Chicken Sandwich for example. This guilt-free meal is packed with the hot-off-the-grill taste you love. However, it is still an extremely versatile dish that is a great base for layering on various ingredients.
We’ve already loaded this menu item with fresh avocado, Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard and more in our easy recipe for a Loaded Grilled Chicken Sandwich. We even turned it into a classic Grilled Chicken Caesar Salad with a homemade dressing and croutons! While those hot and hearty meals were incredible, we’re taking a lighter approach this week by piling on a fresh, crisp and refreshing apple slaw that is perfect for your summer menu.
Get started with this easy and healthy sandwich recipe by preparing your Nutrisystem Grilled Chicken Sandwich according to package’s directions. While it’s heating up, grab a small bowl and make your fresh apple slaw. You will need one teaspoon of light mayonnaise, a quarter of a cup of coleslaw mix and a quarter of an apple. Slice the apple thinly and cut it up into matchsticks. Combine all of the slaw ingredients and season it with black pepper until you reach your desired taste. Top the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with your apple slaw or serve it on the side with a fork.
The Leaf Pro Tip: Make your meal prep easy by doubling or tripling the apple slaw recipe! That way, when it comes time for lunch, all you have to do is heat up your Grilled Chicken Sandwich before piling on the veggies.
