You've left the rich feasts of the holidays behind and you're ready to start 2008 with a healthier diet. Where to begin?

As most experts will tell you, a diet isn't about denying yourself the foods you love, just making better choices. That's why for the month of January, the meat department's special feature is boneless skinless chicken breasts. Being low in fat and high in protein makes chicken a great choice for tasty, familiar eating that's good for you. Try seasoning our chicken breasts with fresh herbs and spices, then grilling them until tender and juicy. It's a great way to keep great taste in-house and cholesterol and fat at bay.

Our chicken breasts are all-natural, meaning that the birds are never given antibiotics or growth hormones. Instead, they are given all natural vegetable feed, which leads to a better chicken all around.
