To cut out the fat and calories, opt for skinless or
boneless chicken breasts and low-caloriegourmet recipes. Choose a chicken recipe
that uses healthy cooking methods like baking, broiling, roasting, poaching, steaming
and sautéing in healthy oils instead of deep-frying. Also use low-fat and
healthy ingredients including vegetables, herbs, spices and fruits, and stay
away from heavy creams and butter. To fight belly fat, include ingredients high
in monounsaturated fatty acids such as nuts, seeds, olives, avocado, and
healthy cooking oils.
Mediterranean
For a quick Mediterranean meal, sauté chopped onions,
garlic, and rosemary in olive oil over medium heat in a skillet until tender
and add (one-inch) cubed boneless and skinless chicken breasts and season with
salt. Cook the chicken until no longer pink, about five to seven minutes then
add pitted and sliced Kalamata olives and halved cherry tomatoes. Reduce the
heat to medium low and cook for about four minutes more and serve with
couscous, rice, bread or quinoa.
Chinese
For a delicious and healthy Chinese-inspired dish,
stir-fry sliced chicken breasts together with vegetables such as broccoli,
carrots, and bokchoi, and season with soy sauce, ginger, garlic, lemon juice,
and sesame oil, garnish with lightly toasted cashews and serve over noodles or
rice. You can also add cubed firm tofu and oyster or shiitake mushrooms for a
more nutritious dish.
Thai
Make a quick Pad Thai and toss together cooked flat rice
noodles together with sautéed chicken breasts, bean sprouts, strips of fried
scrambled eggs, chopped peanuts, and fresh cilantro seasoned with fish sauce,
peanut butter, sugar, and red chili flakes.
Mexican
Make sizzling Fajitas with leftover cooked chicken breasts
for a quick Mexican treat, cooked with olive oil, chopped onions, garlic, red
and green bell peppers, and chili powder served with whole-wheat tortillas,
nonfat sour cream, salsa, and shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese.
Italian
For a gourmet Italian pizza that is healthy and delicious,
choose whole-wheat dough and top with pesto, goat cheese, Portobello mushrooms,
sweet corn, slices of leftover rotisserie chicken and fresh basil.
