6 minutes. Add the chicken and basil and cook until the chicken is

Chicken is ideal
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.
When chickens quit quarreling over their food they often find that there is enough for all of them. I wonder if it might not be the same
with the human race.
