Best Snacks - Healthy Low Calorie Snack
Foods - Sliced Chicken Breast
 Sliced
chicken breast is a great snack to include in your dietary regimen. Marinate a
few pounds of boneless skinless chicken breasts, broil or BBQ them and slice them
up. You can add some spices to the chicken breasts and keep a plate of them in
the fridge for a quick snack. Cold sliced chicken breast tastes amazing and is
high in protein, low in fat and has virtually no carbs.
Always choose all
natural boneless, skinless chicken breast versus prepackaged luncheon meats which
are processed and contain added sugar and a carcinogenic precursor ingredient
known as sodium nitrite (sodium nitrate is closely related). Sodium nitrite is
a dangerous, cancer-causing ingredient that has no place in the human food supply. Quick

and Food Safety - Always wash your hands with hot soapy water after
handling chicken and other raw meats, as well as cutting boards, the countertop,
and knives.
- Never place cooked chicken on the platter that held
the raw meat. Keep raw meats separate from other foods.
- Store
raw chicken in the coldest part of the fridge for no more than two days, and make
sure you don't put it on top of other foods that won't be cooked before eating.
Raw chicken juices dripping onto lettuce or fresh fruits is a real no-no.
- Cook
chicken thoroughly and don't let it sit out at room temperature for more than
two hours.
