3 Reasons Your Heart Loves Chicken Chili

Wednesday, January 28, 2015

We're just a few days away from the cuddliest month of the year! But February isn't just for swooning couples, it's a time to love yourself! As New Years resolutions are winding down and we are settling back into our routines, now is the time to stick with a few healthy habits to take us through a new year.

One of the most important things you can do for your health is take care of your heart. Lucky for us - February is Heart Month! That's why we're partnering with Piedmont during the month of February to bring you heart healthy options, like our Chicken Chili with Sweet Potatoes & Cheddar Cheese. Just look for the Piedmont Heart logo on our menu.

And why should your heart swoon for this chili, you ask? Here are 3 great reasons:

#1 Keeping it Lean

Dr. David Montgomery, a cardiologist at Piedmont Healthcare advises keeping saturated fats intake as low as possible. Saturated fats can be found in red meat. That's why we opted for a chicken chili, using lean white meat chicken breast from White Oak Pastures. 

#2 The Sweeter, The Better (Potato, that is...)

Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamins & minerals like Vitamin D, Vitamin B6 and Potassium, all of which have great benefits for your ticker. 

#3 The Magical Fruit

We've all heard the old adage... "beans, beans - they're good for you heart..." And it's true! Our chili is packed with fiber-rich beans. Fiber, among it's many health benefits, has been shown to lower cholesterol, which is great news for your heart! 

The best part? Eating for your heart is delicious so eat to your heart's content! Your heart (and taste buds) will thank you!
