in the body including providing energy and building, maintaining, and repairing cells, muscles, and organs.Protein is most commonly found in animal sources such as meat and poultry (like the chicken thighs used here), but you can also get protein from plant sources such as beans, quinoa, seeds, nuts, and tofu.
