This is one of my favorite easy, weekday, clean eating chicken recipes. It’s high protein and low carb, yet bursting in flavors from the tender chicken, lime, Sriracha, and crunchy veggies. Best part? It only takes 20 minutes to whip together. My lazy-girl secret is to buy a premade roasted whole chicken and pre-chopped vegetables!
Further Food Commentary:
Love this recipe as it is loaded with lean protein and veggies, what more could you ask for to keep you full while eating super clean! All those veggies paired with the sauces including the lime juice help to bring out the natural sweet flavors of this dish that will help quell sweet cravings and leave you satisfied, full and feeling energized.
