What is the healthier way to prepare chicken?

Hi I feel boiling the chicken is the best and healthy option. Here is my favourite boiled chicken recipe. Ingredients: Boiled chicken – 300 gm Olive oil – 1 Tsp Black olives – 5 Roasted cumin powder – 1 Tsp Cucumber – 1 Basil, chopped – 1 Tbsp Green bell pepper – 1 Cherry tomato – 50 gm Red chili powder – ¼ Tsp Roasted cashew nuts – 5 pieces Lime juice – 1 Tbsp Sugar – ½ Tsp Salt to taste Method of preparation: 1. Shred the chicken. 2. Take olive oil, lime juice, salt and sugar in a bowl, blend well. 3. Add cumin and red chili powder to it. 4. Chop the bell peppers. 5. Peel and chop the cucumbers and remove the seeds. 6. Now mix everything – bell pepper, chicken, cucumber, adding the olive oil dressing. Crush the roasted cashew nuts. 7. Toss the cherry tomatoes. Add basil leaves and olive to it. 8. Add cashew nut and toss it well and serve. Serves: 3-4

I have been a vegetarian for almost 22 years, but now I am trying to incorporate chicken and maybe fish into my diet. Since I've never made it I'm scared I will undercook it. What's the easiest way to start?

I like them both, to be honest. The healthiest ways to prepare any meat remain: bake, boil, broil and grill. All of those methods allow the fat to come away from the meat and don't require added fat in the cooking process. I'd also like to add rotisserie to that list. The fat drips away in the cooking process and leaves you with something delicious and juicy (if you don't over cook it, of course). I've even made "fried" chicken in my rotisserie by dipping it in egg and bread crumbs, putting it in the basket and putthing it in the rotisserie. The outside got nice and crispy and golden and no added fat. It was fantastic. It works great with wings especially.

I also like a roasted chicken. If you put it on a rack (so that the fat doesn´t stay in the bird) and you just use salt and lemon ljuice it will be healthier than a boiled chicken. But I must tell you that I don´t think any home prepared dish is unhealthy if you don´t overeat. I use good oil, take out the excesive grease etc. Happy posting!

If you're familiar with a Turbo Broiler which heat is like in a convection oven which will just surround the whole bowl then the chicken is placed on a round rack inside just like when you are grilling it, only that there's no charcoal. The oil would just drip and you will really love it's crips on the outside part but so soft meat with flavor just intact and absorbed because no evaporation happens. But of course you need to remove the skin when you eat it from whatever way you have cooked it because of the saturated fat the skin contains.

chicken itself is healthy if there is no added fat. just try to cook it ina way that you wouldn't have to add oil in it like in the case of friend chicken, maybe you could steam it or something but i dont thing it will taste as good as when you prepare it using oil and other dairy products

The healthiest way to prepare chicken is to either cook it on a grill or bake it, with just a little low sodium seasonings, or baked with vegetables like peppers, and onions or tomato sauce. Also removing the skin makes it healthier and lower in fat as well. I make a wonderful baked chicken, where I rub a little olive oil all over the chicken and season it with Soul Seasoning, then I bake the entire chicken for an our and a half, it turns out amazing every time. I leave the skin on when I cook it, but remove it before I eat it.
