Healthy Chicken Recipe Collection
Choosing chicken for a meal is a great way to cut calories and fat; however, many get bored with chicken. Nutritionally, chicken cannot be beat. It is a great source of protein, provides vitamin B and other essential nutrients your body needs and is lower in saturated fat than other meat.
Salt Saver: Try ginger, marjoram, oregano, paprika, poultry seasoning, rosemary, sage, tarragon or thyme on your chicken in place of any salt you might put on it.
To help reduce fat when fixing chicken, the American Dietetic Association offers these suggestions:
- Prepare boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs using low-fat cooking methods like stir-frying and grilling.
- Instead of adding oil when cooking, use a nonstick pan or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Roast, bake, oven-fry or grill the chicken pieces – preferably on a rack – to allow fat to drip off during cooking.
- Remove the skin from chicken after cooking instead of before. A thin membrane between the skin and the flesh of chicken holds moisture in the meat while it cooks, yet it keeps fat out. The result is juicy chicken with less fat.
