Instructions

1. Blend the cottage cheese, milk, and ranch seasoning until completely smooth.
2. Divide the ranch among 6 small sealed containers, 1/4 cup per serving.
3. Add 3 ounces chicken, 1 cup cucumber slices, 1/2 cup grapes, and one ranch container to each divided lunch box.
4. Keep the Quest chips sealed and outside the refrigerated lunch box until ready to eat.
5. Pack one bag of Quest chips with each cold lunch box before leaving.

Freezer Storage

1. Do not freeze the assembled lunch boxes, cucumbers, grapes, cottage-cheese ranch, or Quest chips.
2. The cooked chicken may be frozen separately. If four servings remain, use a gallon-size freezer bag. If fewer than four servings remain, use a quart-size freezer bag.
3. Remove excess air and freeze the chicken for up to 3 months.

Reheating Instructions

1. This meal is designed to be eaten cold.
2. If preferred, microwave the chicken separately for 45 to 60 seconds until it reaches 165°F, then return it to the lunch box.

40/400 Notes

• Leave the chips in their original sealed bag so they stay crunchy.
• Use a frozen lunch-pack insert if the box will be away from a refrigerator.
