Homemade Chicken Taquito Dinner Recipe

I decided to give a little break to my usual rich  chocolate dessert recipes and pay attention to clean eating and I still stick to my New Year’s resolution. I haven’t given up yet or get back to old habits.

Actually a few days ago I shared easy and healthy breakfast recipe for Skinny Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins and today I’m  sharing an easy dinner recipe. It’s Easy Chicken Taquitos Recipe.

Now that the holidays are behind us we have to go back to work, kids go to school but all have to eat. And I mean to eat healthy, real homemade food, not some junk food. Yes, we are all very busy but it doesn’t mean that we should forget our health. But even in a very short time we can prepare a tasty and healthy meal for whole family.

As I said before Easy Chicken Taquitos Recipe is quick and healthy meal, perfect for weeknight dinner.
