Because most of the fat in chicken is in the skin, removing it — and its 16 grams of fat — makes chicken a lean choice. The parsley, lemon and garlic topping does the job the skin usually performs, keeping the breasts moist and juicy. Serve with rice pilaf and Honey Acorn Squash. Pop the squash into the oven 15 minutes before adding the chicken.

These burritos are loaded with beautifully seasoned chicken from our roasted chicken & veggies, as well as cilantro and your choice of Big Batch White Rice or Big Batch Brown Rice.
