How can I enjoy chicken while limiting my fat intake?
Chicken is known for its high protein value. To minimize fat intake,
simply select lean chicken breast without the skin. The same rule
applies to turkey.
Be sure to trim off any fat. To keep calories at bay, bake the
chicken 20-minutes for every pound of chicken.
My dieting weakness is fried chicken, is there a good alternative
to preparing chicken?
While baked chicken is the best way to minimize calories, there
is a tasty alternative to preparing chicken fried-style. Set the
oven at 375 degrees. Take two boneless chicken breasts. Trim off
the skin and any extra fat. Then dip into mixed egg whites. Let
the excess drizzle into the bowl. Then place the chicken in a
back of bread crumbs.
Set aside. Heat up a skillet on the stove top.
Once the pan is hot, coat it with a fat free spray. Wait 30 seconds
before placing the chickens in the pan. Brown on both sides for
five minutes. Then transfer the chicken into the oven and cook
for 20-35 minutes. |
