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.
What's great about poultry and especially chicken is that it's such a versatile blank slate. The are so many ways to cook this great protein with results in a wide array of tastes and textures. Chicken goes well with many different side dishes, so it's very easy to create a complete meal in a short time. You can grill it, bake it, cook it up in a stir-fry dish, make it sweet or spicy - it's all a matter of you own personal taste.
Chicken, especially if you choose to make cutlets or cubed style, cooks quickly making it easy to cook even during your hectic workweek. One sample menu could simply be cutlets coated in a bit of lemon and herbs or marinade, baked in your oven and served with a side of herbed risotto and a fresh balsamic salad. In less than 25-minutes you'll have a satisfying and delicious meal for your whole family to enjoy. Another timesaver is making double portions so you can enjoy the meal again later in the week.
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.
