There’s no one who has been spared from a tummy murmur because of a midnight craving. Going to your kitchen late at night, and peeking into your fridge to see if there’s any leftover sandwich from your lunch to gorge on seems like a relatable scenario. Oftentimes, other than a few vegetables and the last slices of bread, there are no interesting ingredients kept in your fridge to whip up a Michelin star meal. However, what if we told you that you can make an interesting midnight munch from simple (and sometimes not that interesting) ingredients? Here are some three ingredient midnight munchies you can try out to satiate your cravings.

2. Grilled Chicken
