So, you love chicken but only want some of the fat and grease that comes with a typical recipe. That's understandable! The Paleo diet is a low-carb, high-protein way of eating. But in terms of chicken, what does that imply? Is that a guarantee that you won't ever eat chicken again, or is it just that the chicken isn't what you're used to? Thank God, no! There are various methods to prepare chicken that will still fit into your Paleo diet and taste fantastic. Here are some tips on how you can cook up delicious chicken any time you like!

 

 

Pick the proper chicken.

The first thing you need to do while wandering through the meat aisle is picked the best quality chicken you can find. Chicken can be tricky since it's generally not as high quality as other meats (duck, beef, etc.), but it's also a staple in many people's diets, so it's not as expensive as some other meats. When deciding which chicken to buy, look for a brand that doesn't have added ingredients, preservatives, or a lot of sodium. Ideally, your chicken should be free-range and organic.

 

Avoid frying

No matter what type of chicken you make, you should avoid frying. It's unhealthy, extremely greasy, and does nothing for your Paleo diet. Instead, try roasting your chicken. This is a great way to get a crispy outside on your chicken without adding all the grease that comes with frying. You can also use baking sheets and bring a crispy exterior. These work great for things like chicken wings as well. If you want that flaky skin, try using a baking rack to get it as close to the heat as possible. You can also make healthier versions of Chinese-style dishes by baking chicken in a sauce.

 

Try baking instead of roasting.

One of the best things about baking is that you can do it in many different ways. Baking your chicken is a great way to make it taste amazing without adding all the fat and calories you get from roasting. You can also experiment with different spices, sauces, and seasonings to make your chicken taste great. Try mashing up a couple of sweet potatoes and rubbing that on the chicken before baking it for a delicious sweet and savory combination. Baking your chicken can also be a healthier way to cook it if you're worried about salmonella risks.

 

Try casseroles and stews.

You don't have to avoid casseroles and stews just because you're on Paleo. Many people use potatoes and other starchy veggies in their soups and stews, but there are ways around this. Try using cauliflower to make your casseroles and stews grain-free and Paleo-friendly. You can also use butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and even pumpkin puree to make your casseroles and stews taste great while still being Paleo-friendly.

 

Enjoy your meat with some veggies.

Some people don't like the idea of eating a bunch of meat while they're on the Paleo diet. It can indeed be very high in protein and low in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, but that doesn't mean you can't enjoy it too! You can quickly get more nutrients by adding some veggies to the mix. It can be as simple as sautéing some spinach or baby kale in butter and adding it to your chicken. Or, you can try making stews or casseroles with a combination of meats and vegetables.

 

Make your chicken broth.

You know you're getting a healthy and delicious product when making your chicken broth. Chicken broth is a popular cooking ingredient in soups and stews, even some desserts! It's packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids, so it's a great way to ensure you get enough nutrients while on the Paleo diet. Making chicken broth is simple and costs much less than buying it from the store.
