If you have time to make a meal, grab an oven-roasted chicken to whip up a few recipes from our chefs. Oven-roasted chicken is a lean protein source that can be used to prepare soup, salad, taco, and pasta recipes in a fraction of the time usually required. It also provides a variety of vitamins and minerals, moderate fat (after skin removal), and amino acids.1
