rather than cutting it up and using it in other dishes, sprinkle the
top of the chicken with seasoned salt, such as Lawry's, to give it
more color.

for weight loss
and dieting
Healthy eating is far better than strict dieting, and weight loss achieved by a change of lifestyle lasts far longer than 'faddy' diets that are difficult to adopt for long periods.
Cooking more low fat chicken can enable you to lose weight gradually as part of a a controlled and healthy diet.
