Smart Substitution Suggestions

2 chicken breasts→2 firm tofu blocks or tempeh

Swapping animal protein for plant-based alternatives reduces saturated fat intake and increases fiber for a heart-healthy dinner.

1 tbsp olive oil→1 tbsp avocado oil or vegetable broth for sautéing

While olive oil is healthy, reducing overall oil usage by using water-sautéing or broth can lower the caloric density of the dish.
