Traditionally this is the season when a lot of us start thinking about healthy eating and healthier habits. We join gyms, try to get out and exercise, and try to eat healthier foods. Often eating a balance, more sensible diet sounds good on paper but can be awfully hard to follow-through on in our daily lives. And some of the diets outlined can seem pretty bland and dull. Most recommend whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, and lean meat like poultry.
The wonderful thing about poultry and especially chicken is the variety of ways you can prepare it, producing very different tasting dishes. Chicken mixes well with all kinds of sauces and side dishes, making it a very simple and tasty dish to cook. Whether you prefer grilled, baked, stir-fried, spicy, or sweet, you'll find a wealthy of great recipes that will make it easy to add poultry to your healthy diet.
Chicken is also popular because it is a quick cooker, making it a favorite for the rushed weekday meals as well as weekend gatherings. You can easily make a tasty chicken cutlet dinner and serve it on the table in less than 25 minutes. Simply bake some honey mustard or breaded cutlets for 20 minutes or so, serve with a side of mashed potatoes (boxed spuds are just fine) and fresh, green sugar snap peas for a delicious dinner. Save time later in the week by making extra portions now for a great second serving.
If you have an kitchen grill like a George Foreman grill, you can enjoy barbecued chicken all year long. If you're not in the mood for cutlets, why not make your own kebobs as a fun and fast meal. Cube your chicken and skewer the pieces along with some pieces of red and green pepper and pineapple chunks and grill. Serve with some herbed risotto and a fresh baby green salad. This dish is sure to delight everyone in your family.
Stir-fry is a great cooking method for chicken and a fast and easy meal to create for any night. While stir-fry is easiest in a deep-dish wok, any decent skillet or fry pan will serve just fine for cooking up a delicious stir-fry dish. What's great about stir-fry is it's a healthy, low fat cooking method that produces very tasty results. You can make it sweet or spicy, it's up to you.
