What to do with chicken
Chicken can be roasted, sautéed, added to soup, or sliced into salads and wraps. The easiest approach is to cook it simply once, then use the cooked pieces in several meals.
Mild and savory, taking on the flavor of herbs, citrus, and seasonings.
Chicken is a versatile protein that can move between bowls, soups, salads, wraps, and sheet-pan meals.
