How many people get the response, “Chicken again?” Well here are a few ways to spice up your everyday boring chicken recipes. Chicken is affordable, easy to cook, and has a pretty neutral protein. That doesn’t mean, however, that healthy chicken dinners have to be bland or boring.
Those boneless, skinless breasts are actually a great canvas for creation, and depending on what you cook them with, they can be sweet, savory, spicy, or tangy.
Try these recipes, and hopefully instead of the response, “chicken again?” You will get, “when are we having chicken?”
4 Healthy Chicken Dinners
- Instead of breadcrumbs – coat your chicken in sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, spicy brown mustard and honey. You can get the same crispy texture from super healthy sesame and sunflower seeds!
- Add some spice and tang to your chicken by making a marinade of Greek yogurt, olive oil, chili powder and clove. The traditional grilled chicken breast gets a fast upgrade by using a tasty, tangy marinade that also provides exceptional nutritional value!
- This one is simple and classic, and will appeal to almost everyone. Combine olive oil and balsamic vinegar with the single most anti-oxidant rich spice, oregano, and you can put this dish in all kinds of meals. Whole grain pasta, rice bowls, salads – the opportunities are endless!
- Add some color to your chicken and bring on the sweet flavor. Get creative and add nutrient-packed ingredients like mango, ginger, and cilantro to your chicken. Great for baking, grilling and stir fry dishes.
