Nourishment Notes
Chicken is an excellent lean protein source. Protein needs may be elevated when going through cancer treatments.
Chicken broth provides moisture to foods, making them easier to chew and swallow. Broth is also helpful for hydrating the body.
Moist, soft foods, like soup, are often easier to swallow and chew, making them a good choice when dealing with dry mouth.
