Healthy Chicken Picadillo
Healthy Chicken Picadillo
"Picadillo is a traditional Spanish dish and is typically served family style for lunch and dinner. Picadillo comes from the word “picar” which means “to mince” hence the ingredients are minced and or diced. Typically, the main ingredient for this dish is ground beef or pork however, this recipe uses a healthier cut of meat. Ground chicken breast is protein-packed meat with lots of flavor. This combination of chicken and vegetables is perfect for a simple dining experience. You can add some broccolini, butternut squash, asparagus, and zucchini to give some additional nutritional content."
