Mary's Chicken Olé

During one of our Nutrition Challenges, we asked clients to create meals and provide us no-sugar recipes as a challenge task. We drew from those recipes and selected some to feature on our Food for Thought Blog, and so here we bring you "Mary's Chicken Olé," from Mary O'Connell! Make it yourself, and remember that you can find it and all of our recipes in the MyFitnessPal app, by searching SoMoved Nutrition...
