Healthy Chicken Recipes For Dinner

Chicken is a great option for a healthy and easy dinner recipe as it is a lean protein that can be prepared in a variety of ways. Here are three healthy chicken recipes that you can try for dinner:

Lemon and herb baked chicken: Mix together 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Place 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts in a baking dish and pour the marinade over the chicken. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Chicken and veggie stir-fry: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless and skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes or until cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside. Add your choice of vegetables, such as bell peppers, broccoli, carrots, and snap peas, and stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet and stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of corn starch (optional) to thicken.

Grilled chicken with quinoa and black bean salad: Marinate 4 boneless and skinless chicken breasts in a mixture of 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 1 tablespoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper, and grill or bake them until cooked through. While the chicken is cooking, prepare the quinoa and black bean salad by mixing 1 cup of cooked quinoa, 1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained, 1/4 cup of chopped cilantro, 1 diced red bell pepper, 2 diced green onions, 1 diced jalapeño pepper and the juice of 1 lime. Divide the quinoa and black bean salad among four plates and top with a grilled chicken breast.

All these recipes are easy to make, healthy and flavorful. You can also adjust the recipe to match your taste preference or dietary needs. Chicken can also be paired with a variety of side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, green salads, or a grain like rice or pasta. You can also add different spices and herbs to change the flavor.
