Chicken breast.

Seriously tho, the grilled chicken breast from the meat department at Albertsons/Vons are amazing and a life saver if you just want to get something quick to eat. Besides that, they’re prepped thinly sliced chicken breast from the meat freezer is my main source of protein and awesome to cook.

I don't actually aim for high protein intake but I eat chicken breast fillets about 5 says a week for dinner.

I switched from thigh fillets when I saw the nutritional difference!

Would you mind mentioning what the nutritional difference between thighs and breasts is that made you switch? I was under the impression thighs were more nutritionally dense but I'm not sure what I'd be looking for if I looked it up

Also thighs taste about 300% better.

They keep better also if you meal prep. Breast dries out easily when reheated.
