Tasty Chicken Dishes That Will Keep You On Track

Tasty Chicken Dishes That Will Keep You On Track

by / Monday, 22 July 2013 / Published in Nutrition

We’ve been taught that the white meat of chicken is an excellent source of lean protein but what most don’t know is that it also offers numerous other nutrients! One 4-ounce serving of pasture-raised chicken breast provides about 35 grams of protein (which is 70% of the Daily Value) Also included are amino acids and all B vitamins including B1,B2, B3, B5, B6, B12. (The skin is loaded with saturated fat, so remove it before cooking!)

We also know that the secret to cooking (and serving) chicken is great recipes.

We love recipes from skinnytaste.com! Gina Homolka is the author and recipe developer who features recipes several times per week. Check out her website at www.skinnytaste.com. If you want to add a little zest to the finished product we suggest that you stick to fresh veggies, herbs, low fat cheese and low fat or fat free yogurt (instead of sour cream) Happy cooking and eat lots of protein!
