You can still eat foods you love while trying to lose or maintain your weight. Simply find ways to improve the dish with little tweaks.
Small changes such swapping the sauce, adding more veggies, or increasing the protein are a few ways to improve each meal.
Simple Adjustments to Your Favorite Meals
This buffalo ground chicken skillet is packed with protein and made with clean ingredients.
If ground chicken isn’t your thing, you can swap the chicken for rotisserie chicken or shredded chicken breasts.
Greek yogurt helps add a creaminess to the recipe while decreasing calories and adding extra protein.
Cream cheese is another alternative to add to this recipe, but the calories will add up rather quickly compared to yogurt.
Simply add the recommended seasonings or your favorite chicken seasoning with a kick then mix in buffalo sauce and top with cheese.
Mixing in roasted sweet potatoes works so well with the kick from the buffalo and brings additional fiber and micronutrient to the dish.
