Eating healthy doesn’t mean dry and tasteless chicken for every meal. 

Chicken thighs are a relatively inexpensive and delicious high-protein option. They are juicier than chicken breasts and don’t dry out as easily. Each thigh (typically) has about ~200 calories with 25g of protein.

For each of the following 3 meals, get 2-3lbs of chicken thighs and make them as a batch. 

Add whatever veggies you want as a side (asparagus, green beans, Brussel sprouts, potatoes, sweet potatoes, etc…).

  1. Wrap It In Bacon

You read that right. Get some thick cut bacon, wrap each chicken thigh in a slice, and bake it in the oven at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes. Eat 1-2 chicken thighs for a serving.

  1. Prepare with Cream Cheese/Spinach

First, bake the chicken thighs in the oven at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes. 

While they are baking, heat 2 tablespoons of cream cheese with 2-3 cups of spinach in a stovetop pan at medium heat. Add in about ½ cup of tomato basil sauce. When the chicken is done, just mix them into the cream cheese/spinach/sauce mixture. Eat 1-2 chicken thighs for a serving.

  1. Prepare with Sun-Dried Tomatoes/Parmesan Cheese

First, bake the chicken thighs in the oven at 400 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

While they are baking, heat a skillet to medium heat and add 1 tbsp of butter. Add 3 minced garlic cloves, ¼ cup of chopped opinions and cook. Then whisk 2-3 tablespoons of all purpose flour, 1 cup of bone both, ½ cup of milk, 1 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, 2 cups of sun-dried tomatoes, and 3 tablespoons of grated parmesan. Add in the chicken. Eat 1-2 chicken thighs for a serving.
