Really is there anything better than a good sandwich, cup of soup, or salad for lunch? Those are always my favorites. Here are the recipes as requested...

Grilled Chicken Pesto Sandwich



Artisan bread sliced, brushed with olive oil, and grilled lightly
Grilled chicken breast brushed with pesto
Muenster cheese
tomato
avacado
bacon

Chicken Corn Chowder
1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces
1/2 C. chopped onion
1 to 2 cloves garlic, minced
3 T butter
2 chicken bouillon cubes
1 C hot water
1 tsp. ground cumin
2 cups half and half ( I use skim milk sometimes too, or at least part skim)
2 C. shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (14 3/4 oz) can cream style corn
1 (4oz) can diced green chilies, undrained
fresh cilantro

In large saucepan brown chicken, onion, and garlic in butter. ( I usually cook my chicken in the crock pot that day so its more tender) Dissolve the bouillon in hot water. Add to pan along with cumin; bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer 5 minutes. Add half and half, cheese, corn, chilies. Cook and stir over low heat until cheese is melted. garnish with cilantro.

Fellow commentors:

Make these recipes tonight. I tasted them in real life and they were DELICIOUS. Just make sure you wear your fat pants, because you will be full, full, full (in a good way) from not being able to stop eating all that goodness.

Thanks again L.
