Healthy Chicken with Garlic and Lime
We get asked a lot about preparing healthy meals when you don’t have enough time to fit cooking into your busy day. We know that on some days it’s so much easier and less stressful to run through the drive-through and get a big bag of fast food.
Fast food is ok on occasion, but not something you want to make a habit out of. It’s expensive and lacks the proper nutrition that we need to stay healthy.
Here is a meal that takes very little time from start to finish that you can feel good about feeding your family.
This healthy chicken dish needs just a little marinating time, but you can also leave it marinating all day if you wish.
