Chicken and Brown Rice Apart from just being delicious, combining brown rice and chicken creates a filling, healthy meal. Brown rice has anti-inflammatory properties and contains a lot of magnesium. I recommend baking the chicken with low-sodium seasoning and adding some baked veggies in the mix. Depending on how you mix and match the veggies, this could be an extremely flavorful meal without being high in calories, sodium, and fat. Image Source: POPSUGAR Photography / Maria del Rio
