Try these easy healthy chicken recipes for lean protein source which is essential for losing weight.
When my husband, Eddie and I first met he really thought the only thing I knew how to make was chicken. Silly man….I knew how to cook plenty of other things!! But chicken is so easy to make and it’s so versatile and it’s a fat loss, staying lean must have staple!! But chicken can get old if you make it the same way again…and again…and again.
So keep changing it up and what’s old can become new. I’ll be adding to this page often (since I really do love chicken….there will be frequent additions to this page).
