This morning I was cravings beets. Yes, I know how ridiculous that sounds, but I really couldn't get the thought of them out of my head.
So I decided to go with it.
I have about a half hour between dropping the 13-Year-Old off at school and getting the 7-Year-Old on the bus. That gave me more than enough time to whip this up.
The fennel added the perfect flavor and slight crunch to this "salad." Can I call it a salad? I'm not even sure. Regardless, it hit the spot and was surprisingly filling. This is why I keep things like canned beets in my pantry!
Here's what I did...
2-Minute Chicken and Beets
Prep
Total
Yield 1 serving
Craving beets? Try this quick Chicken and Beet salad idea that takes moments to pull together and uses just a few key pantry items.
Ingredients
- 15oz can of cut beets drained
- 3oz grilled chicken strips cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tsp fennel seeds
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ½ oz crumbled goat cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Toss the beets and chicken with the fennel, parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Top with the goat cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can, of course, use fresh roasted beets. I just like to keep cans of beets in the pantry when I crave them like this morning.
- If you don't have goat cheese feta would work too!
- I used leftover chicken that I grilled but you could use the store-bought strips too.

I really starting to like these non-traditions breakfasts, like my Fall Butternut Ham Skillet.
Sounds good to me!
I eat a vegetable almost everyday at breakfast .Usually with some type of egg . So i can fully relate to this . What a great time of day to get a veggie serving or two down the hatch .
