TUESDAY’S HEALTHY FUEL RECIPE: THAI CHICKEN
This is one of my all-time favorites. My “go-to” meal when company’s coming over. The one I freeze and take to a friend who needs an extra meal. The one that gets rave reviews, but only takes a few minutes to prepare. It tastes good, freezes well, and provides some flavor variety. And, it delivers the spicy nutrients healthy athletes can use for overall health and a fiery metabolism:
