Low fat ways to cook chicken please tell me some ways?

Postby ayesha » Tue Jan 05, 2010 5:30 am

I wanted to know if anyone has any baking ideas for winter or boiling. Anything that is not heavy on the oil no fried or breaded chicken please. I like flavor, so things with herbs are appreciated. I would like to make breasts and not a whole chicken. Any good low fat winter recipes would be appreciated. I love chicken. :)

Boneless, skinless chicken breast (frozen). Sprinkle salt, white pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, red pepper flakes, basil, bay leaves, and paprika on both sides. wrap in tinfoil and squirt lime juice on it. bake at 400 for an hour and 20 minutes. it comes out juicy and really tastes good.

It may not be so low fat as such but there is a way to fry chicken without using any extra oil.

Take the fat off of the chicken and place it in a skillet. Season your chicken how you like. Put the fat in a skillet and use very low flame. Place chicken in a covered skillet. You will use minimum fat/oil, the chicken fat will melt and cook/fry the chicken very well.

The key point is to have low flame or the fat will cook and evaporate instead of melting. If uncovered make sure to turn pieces often. It does seem to take longer due to low flame but not really.

Hello there Kitty,

I found your tip to be quite interesting. I am an avid chicken eater. I love chicken most especially when it's fried. And since I cannot limit my self entirely from eating chicken, I'm looking for ways how to eat them in a healthy way.

Do you have anything about cooking fried chicken in a healthy way?

How is your diet by the way? Is it working for you? Let me know.

Jean
