For the recipe, I used store bought guacamole and mixed it with canned chicken in water. Tossed in 3 slices of crunchy, oven baked bacon on top then paired it with shredded lettuce for a filling and satisfying meal. I even added a 3 ingredient tortilla to each meal prep which I highly suggest!
Now for those of you screaming that bacon is bad for you. It actually isn't bad when you buy the right kind. Bacon that is nitrate free and sugar free is key. Most bacons (and a lot of meats) have sugar snuck in them. Exactly why we all need a 14 day Sugar Reset Challenge every once in awhile.
I look at bacon as a treat, as in I don't eat it every day so meal prep bacon guacamole chickens salad sure felt like a treat to me. . It's something I rotate into my diet every once in awhile.
