8 Healthy Recipes to Make the Most of Chicken

For us meat eaters, chicken is a regular part of our diets.

And fortunately, it’s healthy for us on its own.

However, a lot of recipes tend to overdo it when it comes to toppings and sides.

So today, we’re going to talk about 8 ways to make the most of chicken without going overboard with calories.

But first, let’s take a look at the nutritional benefits chicken has to offer.

Health Benefits of Chicken

benefits of chicken

Nutrition content is one of chicken’s strongest selling points. A single 4 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast contains:

  • 124 calories
  • 26 grams of protein
  • 4 milligrams of calcium
  • 2 milligrams of potassium

Chicken is also relatively low in saturated fat compared to other protein alternatives.

And as you’re about to see, chicken can be pretty versatile – and always delicious.

2. Grilled Chicken with Roasted Kale

Grilled Chicken with Roasted Kale

Kale is one of those perfect superfoods that can be mixed with a huge amount of foods. I can’t get enough of the stuff, so when I found this grilled chicken and roasted kale recipe, I had to share it with you guys.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound small red-skinned potatoes, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
  • 1 large bunch kale, stems removed, leaves torn (about 10 cups)
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 2 large skinless, boneless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 4 cups mixed salad greens
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. Toss the potatoes with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil on a rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer and roast 5 minutes.
  3. Toss the kale in a large bowl with the garlic, 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Add to the baking sheet with the potatoes and toss.
  4. Roast until the kale is crisp and the potatoes are tender, stirring once, 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, preheat a grill or grill pan to medium and brush with olive oil.
  6. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Coat evenly with 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  7. Grill the chicken until well marked and cooked through, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate.
  8. Toss the kale, potatoes, the remaining 1/2 tablespoon olive oil, the salad greens, tomatoes, parmesan, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste in a large bowl.
  9. Divide the chicken among plates and top with any collected juices. Serve with the kale salad.

3. Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

Chicken and Sun-Dried Tomato Orzo

Tomatoes are one of those great fruits that you should be eating every day. This Italian-inspired dish uses them in their wonderful sun-dried form that I heartily enjoy. The recipe also recommends you serve it with sautéed spinach or steamed broccoli – and I couldn’t agree more.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces orzo, preferably whole-wheat
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, (not oil-packed), divided
  • 1 plum tomato, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 3 teaspoons chopped fresh marjoram, divided
  • 1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, trimmed (1-1 1/4 pounds)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
  • 1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
  • 1/2 cup finely shredded Romano cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Cook orzo in a large saucepan of boiling water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse.
  2. Meanwhile, place 1 cup water, 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, plum tomato, garlic, 2 teaspoons marjoram, vinegar and 2 teaspoons oil in a blender. Blend until just a few chunks remain.
  3. Season chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent burning, until golden outside and no longer pink in the middle, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm.
  4. Pour the tomato sauce into the pan and bring to a boil. Measure out 1/2 cup sauce to a small bowl. Add the remaining 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes to the pan along with the orzo, artichoke hearts and 6 tablespoons cheese. Cook, stirring, until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Divide among 4 plates.
  5. Slice the chicken. Top each portion of pasta with sliced chicken, 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato sauce and a sprinkling of the remaining cheese and marjoram.

4. Coconut Chicken Fingers

Coconut Chicken Fingers

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always enjoyed chicken fingers. In my picky days, I had to convince myself not to just order chicken fingers at every restaurant I went to with my family.

But as an adult, I’ve tried to stay away from them because they can be high in calories and carbs thanks to their breading – and because they’re deep fried.

This recipe, on the other hand, is perfect for adults. It’s reminiscent of childhood but perfectly healthy!

Ingredients

  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
  • 1 cup rice flour
  • 1 cup whole buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened flaked coconut
  • 3 tablespoons canola oil
  • Sweet chile sauce (optional)

Directions

  1. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place flour in a shallow dish. Combine buttermilk and egg in a shallow dish, stirring well. Place coconut in a shallow dish. Dredge chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip chicken in egg mixture; dredge in coconut.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add chicken to pan; cook 6 minutes or until done, turning to brown. Serve with chile sauce, if desired.

5. Chicken Sate

Chicken Sate

This one’s a little complicated, but believe me, the results are well worth it. And if you want to get a little crazier with it, try mixing in other vegetables like shredded carrots or sliced jicama.

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 3/4 pounds chicken tenders
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 6 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 seedless English cucumber, shaved with a vegetable peeler lengthwise into ribbons (about 3 cups)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Lime wedges, for serving
  • 2 cups cooked rice, optional

Directions

  1. Soak 12 8-inch bamboo skewers in water for 20 minutes.
  2. Combine 1 Tbsp. soy sauce, lime juice, oil, fish sauce, curry powder, 1 tsp. ginger, turmeric, and 2 minced garlic cloves in a zip-lock bag.
  3. Add chicken and marinate at room temperature for 15 to 30 minutes. Mix honey, 4 Tbsp. vinegar, and 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes in small bowl. Add cucumber ribbons; let stand at room temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat grill or a lightly oiled grill pan over medium-high heat. Puree peanuts in a small food processor or blender to form a paste. Add cilantro, 3 Tbsp. water, and remaining 2 Tbsp. vinegar, 1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes, 2 Tbsp. soy sauce, 1/2 tsp. ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove; process until smooth.
  5. Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Thread 1 piece of chicken on each bamboo skewer. Grill chicken, turning, until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain cucumber ribbons. Serve chicken skewers with sauce, cucumber ribbons, lime wedges, and rice, if desired.

6. Chicken and Squash Cacciatore

Chicken and Squash Cacciatore

This is comfort food at its healthiest.

Cacciatore is a rustic-style meal often called “hunter’s stew” that has a delightful mixture of Italian herbs and vegetables – and even sometimes wine. Because of how healthy it is on its own, adding chicken to it might just make it a balanced-diet favorite.

Ingredients

  • 1 onion
  • 1 leek
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 2 rashers of higher-welfare smoked pancetta
  • 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • olive oil
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • ½ a butternut squash or sweet potatoes
  • 100 g chestnut mushrooms
  • 2 x 400 g tins of plum tomatoes
  • 250 ml Chianti , or other good red wine
  • 4 free-range chicken thighs, bone in
  • 8 black olives (stone in)
  • 200 g seeded whole meal bread 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Peel the onion and cut into eighths, trim, wash and slice the leek, peel and slice the garlic.
  3. Place a large ovenproof casserole pan on a medium heat.
  4. Finely slice the pancetta, pick and finely chop the rosemary leaves, then place both in the pan with 1 tablespoon of oil and the bay leaves.
  5. Stir regularly for 2 minutes, then add the garlic, followed by the onion and leek.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring regularly.

7. Buffalo Chicken Salad

Buffalo Chicken Salad

When you see anything with blue cheese in it, you might raise an eyebrow. Thankfully, this buffalo chicken recipe shows you how to prepare your own blue cheese dressing in the healthiest way possible.

And if you want it to be a little on the spicier side, try marinating your chicken in Sriracha sauce while you prepare the other ingredients!

Ingredients

  • 2 (8-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons cayenne pepper hot sauce (or other hot sauce), plus more to taste
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Directions

  4. In a large bowl combine the Romaine, celery, shredded carrots and scallions. Toss with the dressing. Divide the greens between 4 plates, top with the chicken.
  5. Serve with extra hot sauce.

Blue Cheese Dressing:

  1. Fold a full sheet of paper towel into quarters and put it into a small bowl.
  2. Spoon the yogurt onto the paper towel and place in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to drain and thicken.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk the buttermilk and thickened yogurt into the mayonnaise until smooth.
  4. Add the vinegar and sugar and continue to whisk until all the ingredients are well combined.
  5. Stir in the blue cheese and season, to taste, with salt and pepper.

8. Saffron Chicken

Saffron Chicken

This is by far the most straightforward way to make a delicious chicken breast with the fewest steps. The Greek or low-fat yogurt you add to it will add immensely to the flavor and health benefits of the chicken. And whether you serve it over whole grain rice or just eat it on its own with a tasty veggie is up to you!

Ingredients

  • Greek or plain whole-milk yogurt
  • Saffron threads, crushed
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

  2. Combine 1 1/2 cups yogurt, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper, a pinch of saffron, and garlic in a large bowl.
  3. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
  4. Let stand at room temperature for 15 minutes.
  5. Place chicken on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray.

Clinically Effective Ingredients & Doses

Many ingredients in supplements don’t have any scientifically validated benefits, and many ingredients that do are often underdosed to the point of irrelevance.

That’s why we only use the choice ingredients and precise doses shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Clinically Effective Doses

You need more than great ingredients to make great products—you also need proper doses. That’s why we use the precise doses of ingredients shown to be effective in peer-reviewed scientific studies.

Natural Ingredients

“Natural” doesn’t always mean “better,” but in many cases, natural ingredients are superior to artificial ones for various reasons, including purity, safety, and efficacy.

That’s why all of our ingredients in all of our products come from plant and animal sources, including sweeteners, colors, and flavors.

Made in USA with Globally Sourced Ingredients

Lab Tested

Did you know that supplements can contain dangerously high levels of toxins like lead, arsenic, and cadmium?

That’s why we test every ingredient of every supplement we produce for heavy metals, microbes, allergens, and other contaminants and ensure they meet the strict purity standards set by the FDA.

Naturally Sweetened & Flavored

While artificial sweeteners may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of these chemicals may indeed be harmful to our health.

That’s why all of our supplements are naturally sweetened and flavored and contain no artificial food dyes, fillers, or other unnecessary junk.

Some popular pre-workouts are all-natural. Some contain the right mix of high-quality ingredients. Some provide clinically effective doses. But only Pulse checks each of these boxes.

Pulse doesn’t just “contain natural ingredients''—every ingredient is naturally sourced from plants and animals. Pulse contains no artificial or synthetic substances of any kind.

Every serving of Pulse contains 15.1 grams of active ingredients that have been shown to be safe and effective in peer-reviewed scientific research.

Every active ingredient in Pulse is backed by published scientific studies that show benefits in healthy humans.

Pulse contains no harsh stimulants that wind you up and burn you out. Instead, it contains a 1:1 ratio of caffeine and L-theanine, which produces a smooth energy rush and comfortable comedown.

We carefully examined 508 pages of scientific research to find out exactly what should and shouldn’t be in a pre-workout supplement.

Every bottle of Pulse is guaranteed to provide exactly what the label claims and nothing else—no heavy metals, microbes, allergens, or other contaminants.

While these types of chemicals may not be as dangerous as some people claim, studies suggest that regular consumption of them may indeed be harmful to our health. And that’s why we don’t put any of them into our products.

Before you buy a sports supplement, you should know that it's clean, safe, and transparent. And that's exactly what Labdoor's third-party testing and certification means.

It's hard to know for sure, but this probably makes Pulse the most-popular all-natural pre-workout supplement in the world.
