Spicy Chicken Casserole
Are you craving a fast metabolism? Look no further than this spicy chicken casserole. Zucchini is rich in manganese, which stimulates collagen synthesis to get your skin glowing. It also contains superoxide dismutase for healthy bones and a healthy immune system. For these same reasons, I focus on adding this ingredient to recipes, like my Spicy Chicken Casserole, so that I can get the metabolic pathways back up and running. Cilantro promotes heart health along with being a natural mood booster. A Faster Metabolism means a happier life because you’re eating foods that are scientifically proven to make you feel incredible. Enjoy!
