OK, it doesn’t get any easier than this.
I don’t care if you’re short on time, short on cooking skills, or short on creativity… this might be the simplest lunch or dinner you’ll ever make. And the best part? You can throw it together for under six bucks.

I’m a huge fan of canned proteins. Tuna, salmon, shrimp, chicken… if it comes in a can, I’m into it. My favorite? Canned chicken breast.

Why? Because that's literally the only ingredient. No additives, no preservatives. Just pure lean protein, ready to go.

So here’s the move:

  • Step 1: Dump a can of chicken breast into a pot.
  • Step 2: Add a can of your favorite low-sodium veggie or lentil soup.

That’s it. Two ingredients. Two steps. Done.

And for those of you who want to get technical about the soup having more than one ingredient... chill out. :)

The whole batch gives you over 55 grams of protein and about 500 calories. Most of you will be full and happy with half of it, especially if you add some high-fiber crackers on the side.
