I'm curious because just about every gym I go to - someone is hawking protein powder.
I'm definitely not a body builder just a regular gym goer. Maybe I'm better off just having some lean chicken when I get home???

Yes, it's a good way to add protein. Food is better, but depending on how much protein you require for whatever your goal happens to be, sometimes it's difficult to eat that much. Maybe you don't have the time, or simply suck at cooking meat. Maybe you're vegetarian. Maybe you just get sick of eating meat.
Protein powder is great, but it's a supplement. Don't try to REPLACE food with it, simply add on to it on occasion.
