Who doesn’t love a new recipe for chicken? It’s a nice lean (as long as you remove the skin) source of protein, and usually pretty quick and easy to prepare. In fact, chicken is the number one source of protein in America, and according to the National Chicken Council, our per capita consumption is about 83 pounds each year!
With all that chicken being eaten, baking, roasting, or barbecuing gets old after a while. That’s when I forage through my folder full of recipe clippings to try and shake things up a bit. Here’s how I’m eating chicken these days:
Grilled Jerk Chicken from Epicurious.com
Roasted Chicken and Pesto Pizza from Stonefire.com
Crispy Baked Chicken Spring Rolls from JustATaste.com
Barbecue Pulled Chicken Sandwich from eatingwell.com
Chicken Breasts with Apricot Onion Pan Sauce from FoodandWine.com
Easy Chicken Fajitas from ChickenRecipeBox.com
Chicken Tortilla Soup from BakeYourDay.com
[box] Tip! The skin is full of fat, (much of it saturated), but it won’t soak in to the chicken when cooking, so feel free to keep it on so the chicken stays moist while cooking. Just remove it before eating.
Also, when buying ground chicken, or chicken sausages, make sure you look for the words “chicken breast” on the label. Otherwise, the package contains dark meat, and probably chicken skin and fat.[/box]
