I love my DIY "Lunchables" - much healthier than the store bought processed versions. I combine fruit, cheese, deli meat, veggies and crackers. You can come up with so many healthy variations! I don't have a Bento box - I use cupcake liners in my containers to separate the goodies.
I slice and shred the roast chicken for sandwiches and salads. Plenty of it, so I'll freeze some of it. And of course freeze the carcass for homemade chicken stock:)
