skinnymixer's Lunchbox Chicken Loaf

Recently, there has been a lot of attention on deli meats & chicken loaf and what the hidden ingredients could be doing to our health long term. These media spots are really good at scaring us, but when it comes time to packing lunchboxes with a busy lifestyle – sometimes its just easier to grab deli meat… until now.

This Thermomix recipe is super easy to make, extremely delicious and better yet: preservative, additive, nut, gluten, dairy, egg, grain and refined sugar free!

It’s also budget friendly, where you will pay $18 kg from the supermarket, this should cost you around $8-$15 a kg depending on if you use free range chicken. Provided you can convince your family to give it a go, I think they will find it just as yummy as the store bought stuff.
