Greek Chicken Saute

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and NatureRaised Farms, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #SCNRF  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

As I’ve gotten to a certain age, I’ve realized that I can’t take my health and fitness for granted.  If I want to stay healthy and feeling young, I have to get to the gym on a regular basis AND I need to try and eat a healthy diet.  As much as I love a good burger and fries, that’s not a meal I should eat all that often.  I try and cook healthful meals at home and part of that is making sure that I’m cooking with quality ingredients.

One of the ingredients I really scrutinize is the meat that I cook with.  I want to know where it came from and I want to know that it’s been raised responsibly.  That’s why I was so excited when I discovered NatureRaised Farms®Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Portions at my local Sam’s Club.  NatureRaised Farms chicken is 100% natural*, no added antibiotics, hormones or steroids** are used and the chickens are fed a 100% vegetarian diet.  That, in my mind, is a product you can feel good about feeding to your family.  On top of all of that, NatureRaised Farms chicken has been certified either by the USDA Agriculture Marketing Service or Global Animal Partnership.  Plus the chickens are raised in open barns and are bred through natural selection.  For more information about NatureRaised Farms chicken, visit their website here.

If that wasn’t enough to convince you to run out to your local Sam’s Club to purchase a package of NatureRaised Farms chicken from the freezer section, let’s talk about the convenience.  I love having this product in my freezer, ready to use anytime I want to whip up a quick chicken dish.  The chicken breasts are individually frozen, so you can easily grab just as much as you need.

Now let’s talk about this quick Greek Chicken Saute.  A quick marinade with lemon juice, olive oil and Greek seasoning makes the chicken sing with bright flavors.  Add to that a mix of veggies, a little feta cheese and some salty, briny Kalamata olives and you’ve got a winner chicken dish.  What further helps to keep this dish healthy is tossing it with zucchini “noodles” rather than pasta or rice.  This just further boosts the nutrition of this dish and I promise you won’t miss the pasta or rice!
