This was perfect after my gym session—light but packed with protein! I used a yogurt-based ranch and it was amazing.

Great balance of macros. I meal prepped this for 3 days and it held up well in the fridge. Might try it with grilled turkey next time.

My kids actually enjoyed this! I skipped the cheese and added cucumber slices. Thanks for the idea.

Simple, effective, and tasty. I swapped in spinach for iceberg lettuce for extra nutrients. 💪

I made a vegetarian version using chickpeas instead of chicken—still really satisfying! Thanks for the inspiration.
