All three dishes are chicken-based, and we'll start with the easiest, Chicken Fried Rice. You can whip it up in no time and it's despite it being somewhat indulgent, it's actually a well-balanced healthy dinner that's totally delicious, too. The next dish is an Italian classic. The Chicken Cacciatore is hearty, warming and easy to make. Using only chicken breast also makes this a fantastic healthy dinner option!
Finally, we have our Chicken Satay Curry (if you had a little more time, wouldn't this be the perfect accompaniment to the fried rice?). This dish is cooked and prepared within 20 minutes and it's packed with healthy fats and protein.
