It’s easy to get bored of plain chicken and spices so with a bit of effort why not try turning it into a Green Chicken Curry? It only adds 11g of carbs to your typical chicken breast whilst providing the same, if not more, protein. If you want to add more fat to the meal then try frying the vegetables and chicken in a tablespoon of coconut oil.
Serve with rice or quinoa (my preferred grain) and veg to make this a balanced meal and much better than a takeaway!
