Roast Chicken Breast | When prepping proteins my goal is to prep them with as much flavor as possible without adding any calories.
For the chicken, I chose bone-in skin on chicken breast that I roast in the oven. Chicken breast is high in protein and lean. Because it is such a lean meat I roast it on the bone to keep it from drying out. Once it is done I remove the skin and bone and store it for the week.
