The boneless, skinless thighs will work but you will need to tamp them down alot so you will have enough chicken to roll the filling up into.

FYI, I made this recipe using the chicken breasts...SO delicious and moist!

Yea, I have a hard time subscribing to the 30 gram theory myself. I have researched and found that this comes from body builder's rule of thumb; which, isn't a bad thing, but a 90 pound ballerina vs. a 250 pound body builder - well, it just doesn't add up to me. Obviously, there would be a vast difference in what each body would need and be able to use up. I am a stickler for scientific fact (due to my profession). I'm a lab rat, so I do testing for all these analytes that tells us we are where we need to be; nutrition-wise. Thank you for your input, very interesting.

Two of my favorite go to meals are:

 Taco Salad ( no chips)

Ground Beef with Taco Seasoning, I make homemade guacamole. I top 3 oz of the taco meat with lettuce, tomato , cheese and guacamole.

 

I also make a skillet cabbage roll dish.

Brown a pound of ground beef, add cole slaw mix and low sugar pasta sauce and let simmer until the cabbage is cooked.
