Chicken Biryani
This is a very common Indian dish that is easily adjusted to fit your taste and texture preferences. Firm tofu could be used instead of chicken if you want a vegetarian recipe. This dish pairs perfectly with Raitha (an Indian side dish) and a hardboiled egg. Each serving has 20 grams of protein and 2 grams of fiber!
