Chicken itself is a healthy choice when it comes to proteins. It’s low in calories and a great source of nutrients including B vitamins and amino acids which support stronger bones and muscles. It can also help promote weight loss as it’s low in fat and leaves you feeling fuller.
When it comes to using chicken in a recipe, there are a wide variety of ways it can be prepared. Bake or grill it on its own or use it in soups, casseroles, stir-frys, and more.
