Satisfaction Guaranteed

Ever feel like nothing you eat is satisfying you? There is a remedy and prevention for this; very often an insatiable desire to eat something is actually a lack of certain nutrients. This chicken is stuffed with nourishing protein and cooked in coconut cream, a healthy fat that helps you feel full-much like the complex carbohydrates in sweet potatoes that take longer to digest and help balance blood sugar. Also, adding cayenne pepper and ginger boosts your metabolism. Pine nuts contain a fat that tells your brain when your full, cool huh? Every ingredient counts!
