Tandoori Chicken, Chicken Tangdi And Other Top Protein-Rich Chicken Recipes

For a non-vegetarian, it is next to impossible to give up chicken in order to lose weight. But, not anymore! The struggle ends right here; how, you ask? The answer to it is very simple. Chicken is a lean meat and doesn't put you at risk of high cholesterol. You may do away with all the creamy curries and rich sauces, and prepare your chicken in a healthy way with a mix of spices and fresh herbs. Chicken is full of lean protein that helps you keep full for a longer time and helps body burn fat more effectively. But, it is really important for you to have local farm-raised chicken. Avoid chicken that come in packets or frozen as they have preservatives and lack nutrients. You can grill it, stir-fry it or add it in stews to reap maximum benefits. Without a doubt, one must avoid fried chicken or chilli chicken that is prepared in restaurants, as they are loaded with calories. Eating homemade chicken tikka, tandoori or roasted chicken, chicken soup or chicken salad is the best and healthier way of eating chicken, especially if you are looking to lose weight.
