Christmas party season is well and truly here and we don’t know about you but after a night on the complimentary sauce (thanks, boss) it’s natural not be feeling 100% fresh the next morning.
Trouble is, you have no option whatsoever than to go in and face the Christmas music – even if everyone did see you getting a bit up close and personal with sexy Tim from digital. You’re going to need an incentive and you’re going to need it quick, so may we suggest this grab and go hangover lunch to ease the pain a tad?
Put a teeny bit of groundwork in the day before your party and you’ll thank us big time later.
Firstly, let’s not kid ourselves: the lunchtime after the night before is no time for paleo. You’re going to need the three main hangover food groups in order to make it through the day, and everyone knows that they are carbs, cheese and meat. Introducing, the DIY burrito bowl. Succulent chargrilled chicken, plenty of strong cheddar, avo, rice, beans and corn. Put it in a wrap if things get really bad. Here’s what you do.
Ingredients
1 chicken breast, ideally skin on
½ avocado
Handful sweetcorn
A bit of lettuce
Handful cooked rice (mine is a Mexican flavoured precooked sachet with beans in too – perfect)
Chargrilled chicken seasoning
Fresh coriander
Lime
Cheese – amount to be determined by hangover. I’d call this approximately 2 bottles of champagne and some tequila’s worth.
Corn tortilla wrap (optional)
Tabasco (to take with you – don’t be hasty)
