I had a client who was on a special diet and could not have salt, carbs and sugar. I love this kind of challenge. My goal is to make this Heart Healthy Smothered Chicken as flavorful as possible with no salt. This low-carb, high-protein chicken is the perfect mix of healthy and delicious! This meal can be made ahead and frozen.
