Winner, winner chicken dinner… Chicken is a standard protein at our house, and I am always on the hunt for ways to prepare it that will satisfy my family. I grew up eating chicken legs and thighs and so did my husband. Oh, and of course, chicken tenders and nuggets.
Of course, out of all the chicken choices we have at the grocery story, the healthiest option is fresh chicken breast. The white meat has slightly less cholesterol than the dark meat and it is definitely lower in saturated fats. The problem used to be that white meat chicken breast would turn out dry and not as tasty as the dark meat.
This chicken, on the other hand, is far from dry and tasteless! My husband said the chicken was tender and tasty – that is HIGH PRAISE, my friend.
Here are some of my other chicken recipes that passed the test with my family. They especially liked the Instant Pot Shredded Apple Chicken recipe!

Here’s where the phrase winner, winner chicken dinner came from!
