Ranch Chicken & Broccoli Skillet

It’s no secret I’m trying super hard to be healthier lately. Of course I need to drop a few pounds, but just as important, I need to maintain a healthier lifestyle overall. Since food is a huge part of a persons health, I’ve been trying to pay more attention to where my food comes from. We live in an agricultural community to it’s super easy to buy fresh and local with the most of our fruits and veggies. The meats though, those are a little tougher unless dining on wild game, which we do but not 100% of the time. When it comes to supermarket options for chicken, which is a large part of our meat consumption, I’ve found Foster Farms Simply Raised fresh chicken which is locally grown in California and the Pacific Northwest with no antibiotics ever. For me that’s exciting because it’s a name I’ve known to mean quality for years and now it seems their goals are in line with mine as far as my families nutrition. That’s pretty amazing right?
