Rotisserie chicken<\/a> can be a real timesaver when you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry! And for many, it can be a great source of protein and other nutrients. With that said, many brands inject a saline solution (read: salt) into the chicken and use a salty brine or rub on the outside of the chicken. This adds a ton of flavor but also a ton of sodium. So, if you need to watch your sodium, either use rotisserie chicken sparingly or try our simple Best Poached Chicken<\/a> recipe.<\/p>"

"@type": "Answer",
"text": " Like other legumes, cannellini beans are a great plant-based source of protein and are packed with fiber. They also provide zinc, potassium, B vitamins, iron, manganese and phosphorus, as well as antioxidants. Regularly eating beans can improve gut health, boost immunity and reduce inflammation—which means they help reduce the risk of chronic disease. Beans play a special role in protecting your heart. The fiber helps reduce cholesterol, and the potassium in beans helps keep blood pressure in a healthy range.<\/p>"
