Caprese Chicken is lightly seasoned with quality olive oil, herbs, and good-for-you tomatoes. Fresh mozzarella cheese is low salt and fat, and you can modify how much you include to fit your diet needs. (If you're dairy-free, you could even leave this part off and add some extra crushed garlic and onions to fill out the flavors).

Food is a primary way we can care for our heart year-round, but there's other ways too. Exercise, fresh air, quitting unhealthy habits like smoking and drinking are others.
And... being sure to get annual checkups, especially as you age. Ask your primary care doctor what else you can do to support a healthy heart!

  2. I have stuffed chicken breast before, with feta cheese and arugula or something like this. And my Family was indeed impressed 😉 The Caprese combo sounds pretty amazing!

  3. I am mostly curious about what they offer to prevent illness instead of just treating sickness when it happens.

  4. I wish my healthcare had an easier to navigate list of prescription coverage. More than once I've had to ask a doctor to switch a medication to one that is covered and it's kind of a pain

  5. I'd like to know what specifically is covered and what is not, so I'm aware before services are performed. I had a health issue a few years back, but my plan at the time did not cover it and I ended up having to pay a lot out of pocket for the services I received.

  6. i actually don't have any at the moment -- but when i was pregnant i had about a million -- 🙂 mostly wondering who paid for what, and how much insurance covered (thankfully it was everything!)

  7. Why are my out of pocket costs rising every year? It's now up to $10,500. I still owe over $6,000 in medical bills from 2015 and my premium went up another $100 a month.

  8. Since I don't have any specific pressing questions I would just like to know if I am getting the most out of my healthcare plan.

  9. I don't really have any pressing questions--am comfortable with current knowledge and certainly have the ability to research anything that might come up to verify in the coverage.

  10. I don't have any really pressing questions about my healthcare at this time, but I am overwhelmed by all of the confusing statements they send me in the mail.

  11. I get really confused with the co insurance and what has copays and what does not. Seems like everything is different and so confusing to me.

  12. I'm always confused about what type of annual "maintenance" is covered 100%. As I get older a yearly physical would be nice to have, some grave illnesses are caught during these types of visits and can be treated early.

  13. I'm wondering if there will be changes under the next administration which will allow my husband's employer to go back to great coverage for a good rate.

  14. I am always wondering how prescription prices are determined. There are times that some are super expensive and then others are dirt cheap.

  15. Why is it so expensive? Why some doctors mostly who are the best doctors doesn't take insurance at all? Why keeping your health plan after getting laid off so expensive especially since you no longer have a job...talking about CORBA?

  16. My most pressing question would be concerning what is covered and not covered? How can I maxmize my health insurance?

  17. My pressing question about my health care plan is how much are the premiums going to go up each year. Thanks for the giveaway!

  18. Now that they pulled the rug out from under the whole school district and switched companies on the sly (after reassuring everyone that they weren't switching), I'd like to know if I can even find a doctor here that I can get into that will take the insurance! Apparently the majority of the doctors won't touch this insurance! If I would have known, I would have had hubby add me onto his and dropped the one the district provides! Now it's too late - we have to wait until open enrollment in November!

  19. I am always confused about what is allowed for chiropractic care. I would want to know more about that benefit.

  20. I don't know yet, I have had to start all over again with a different health care plan, and need to find out every single aspect.

  21. i dont have any questions at the moment but before receiving any treatment i would want to know what costs are covered and what aren't

  22. Hi Julie. I entered on the We Dare You to Share website but your RC widget says the contest hasn't started yet. =)

    P.S. That chicken looks tasty!
