Chicken is always a healthy, economical and versatile meal choice, but why not make it a heart healthy celebration in February with your Valentine! High in protein and low in fat, chicken is great choice for those watching their weight, counting cholesterol, or for anyone seeking a healthier lifestyle.
Did you know that a 4 oz portion of roasted skinless chicken breast is only 116 calories and contains only 2 grams of fat? Dress it up with a spicy rub or tasty marinade--and bake, broil or grill with little or no additional fat and you'll be well on your way to creating a heart-healthy, low calorie meal. If you prefer to roast or bake chicken with the skin on, simply remove the skin before eating it to shave the calories and retain moisture.
Here are a few of our heart-healthy favorites:
Jerk Chicken Caesar Salad
Mom's Easy Chicken Soup
Skewered Chicken Tandoori
Stir Fry Chicken with Black Bean Sauce
Our farmers are proud to put the chicken on your dinner table and thank you for supporting our local industry and families for over 50 years.
