Chicken

CHICKEN IS GREAT

I don’t know about you but I love chicken. Which when you are trying to stay in shape and create a fat free toned body then this is a good thing. Chicken is low in fat, high in protein and can be cooked in lots of ways and goes well with lots of other foods. So lets get into chicken.

So if you like chicken then this is good news right. Chicken is an ideal food for the health conscious and the weight trainer. High in protein and low in fat. Whether you bake it, roast it, stir fry it or barbecue it you will enjoy a great food every time with chicken. Chicken will go with salad right through to a roast dinner. You can’t go wrong.

My advice would be to always buy a healthy organic or free range chicken as these are reared on a healthy diet and are free to roam as they were intended. The meat from these birds is how chicken should be, juicy and full of flavour. If you buy a battery reared bird you really are not getting a healthy bird, these are fed on a high calorie diet and possibly supplements to help them grow big quick and it will be a dry tasteless meat. Apart from how they taste battery birds are reared in my opinion in a very inhumane way.

There is a price difference between battery and organic free range. You will pay more for organic free range but it is worth it. The chicken will live a happier slightly longer life and we get a healthier better tasting meat.

So if you don’t eat chicken then now is the time to start. Obviously if you are a vegetarian then sorry, chicken won’t interest you. But if you do like your chicken then why not get more creative with it, there are endless amounts of chicken recipes out there to try. Whether you use it in a curry or casserole it’s a great healthy meat that we can all eat on a regular basis.

Enjoy it!
