Chicken breasts are tough to beat. They’re skinless and boneless, making them fast to cook, plus they’re a source of lean protein. Oh, and they take on any flavour you throw at them, whether it’s a bounty of fresh herbs, or lemon and garlic. We love this staple as much as you do, which is why we gathered our favourite healthy and flavourful recipes in one easy list you can bookmark for dinners week-after-week.
