Many of my clients have asked me to help them lose weight. When I tell them they need to cook their meals themselves their next question is usually along the lines of "but what shall I cook?".
Below is a handy quick recipe for very low fat chicken parcels that anyone can cook.

Easy (Low Fat) Chicken Parcels
Super moist and tasty, perfect for dinner or as a cold snack.
