Boar’s Heart Healthy Deli Meats PLUS EverRoast Chicken Quinoa Pilaf Recipe

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Boar’s Head for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

I love making lunch for my kids, and myself but have a hard time finding lunchmeat that isn’t full of saturated fat and loaded with salt. Recently, while shopping at my local commissary,  I came across Boar’s Head heart-healthy deli meats which are certified heart-healthy deli meats! They are also gluten-free which is great considering I have some family members with Celiac Disease!

Boar’s Head ensures that their products are certified heart-healthy deli meats.

I’m really excited to try the EverRoast_® Oven Roasted Chicken Breast! EverRoast Chicken is a full-flavored, old-fashioned chicken expertly seasoned with carrots, celery, onions, garlic and parsley, then slow roasted to golden perfection. This versatile, heart-healthy chicken can be used in salads, sandwiches or as a center of the plate dinner item.

Check out this recipe I came across and cannot wait to make!!
