Tori Copeland is the Lawrence County Extension Agent - Family and Consumer Sciences/4-H. Every Thursday she will be bringing you a healthy new recipe to try with your family.
Chicken, when served without the skin, contains 22 grams of lean protein per 3 ounce serving. Protein is used to create new cells, repair existing cells, build muscle, and produce enzymes needed to boost metabolism and aid in a healthy digestive system. Chicken is considered a high-quality protein because it contains all 8 essential amino acids. It is inexpensive and can be prepared in a variety of ways.
Try this easy-to-make recipe using chicken!
