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.
Chicken is very versatile meat that can be combined with so many dishes and cooked in so many ways that it rarely gets boring. Chicken can be sauted, baked, stir-fried, broiled, barbecued - the possibilities are endless. The wonderful thing about chicken is that it absorbs any of the many flavors and spices you choose to produce great tasting dishes.
Another plus about chicken is that is cooks quite quickly, especially if you choose to make chicken cutlets. It's pretty easy to make a nice family dinner even after a busy day with a few simple foods. Cover the amount of cutlets you need in a tasty marinade or some herbs and lemon and bake for about 20 minutes. Serve them with a side of rice and some mixed vegetables and you've got a great tasting, satisfying, healthy meal in no time.
You can grill chicken anytime with an electric grill, whether it's barbecued strips or a homemade version of chicken nuggets. One of our family favorites is a homemade chicken kebob. They taste great and they're a fun meal that the kids love too. You just cube up some cutlets and take the cutlet pieces along with some fruits (like pineapple or melon) and some veggies (like zucchini or pepper) and put them on your skewers and place them on the grill. These are great with a mixed green salad and some fresh homemade bread or pasta.
Even without a wok, you can create great tasting chicken stir-fry dishes in no time at all. You can use any good-sized frying pan or skillet that will serve as your wok quite easily. Stir-fry can be sweet or spicy and the chicken can be cooked up with some great veggies to create a well-rounded, healthy main dish. Serve with fresh fruits and brown rice for a delicious dinner.
So if you're ready to enjoy some great chicken dishes or you're looking for new ways to liven up your same old chicken, be sure to browse the Internet for some excellent free recipes. You'll even find great feedback and ideas from people who've tried the recipes and found ways to enhance them, along with great suggestions for side dishes too.
