Whether it's fried, baked, shredded and used in tacos, or added to your favorite noodle dishes, chicken is a tasty way to add more protein to your meal. And while you can, of course, go out to your favorite restaurant and order your favorite chicken-centered dish, it's hard to find healthier options when eating out that isn't full of extra fat and sodium from the oils and other ingredients added. For a solution that still gives you plenty of opportunity to eat chicken your preferred way while maintaining more of its nutritional value, we've gathered the best healthy chicken recipes for you to try right in your kitchen.
One of the main health benefits of eating chicken is that it is a much leaner protein than some other animal sources like beef or pork. For instance, in a 4-ounce serving of chicken breast (without the skin), you'll get about 26 grams of protein and only about one gram of fat. But anyone who has ever tried cooking a chicken breast on its own knows that without anything added, this meat is pretty tasteless and can make for quite a boring dish.
Thankfully, with the help of these tasty—yet healthy—chicken recipes listed below, you can enjoy the health benefits of this lean protein without growing tired of your nightly dinners. Read on for more inspiration, and for other helpful recipes, check out 34 High-Protein Breakfasts That Keep You Full.

Margarita Chicken
Sizzling chicken and steak platters clutter the menus of nearly every major chain restaurant in this country, a testament to the enduring popularity of meat and melted cheese.

Chili-Mango Chicken Stir-Fry
The combination of heat and sweet is a rollercoaster for our taste buds and a partnership that lurks behind—knowingly or not—our affection for so many Asian dishes—General Tso's, orange chicken, and mu shu pork, among others.

Chicken Scaloppine
Another Italian classic lost in translation. Too many cooks interpret this dish—traditionally chicken or pork, lightly floured and cooked with sage and prosciutto—as a huge helping of meat, breaded and fried and covered in a murky, sodium-strewn gravy. Our lighter, more authentic version wraps chicken and sage in a layer of prosciutto, which then becomes a crispy skin that keeps the chicken moist while it sautés. A splash of wine and chicken stock directly into the cooking pan becomes your two-minute sauce. It's just the latest proof of why simpler is so often better.
Get our recipe for Chicken Scaloppine.
Chicken Cordon Bleu
This dish is French in name, but it feels American, right down to its molten cheese core. Normally, this chicken is stuffed, breaded, then deep-fried into submission. But our testing found that a high-heat oven provides all the crunch we want without all the calories we don't. If honey mustard feels a bit like gilding the lily, it is, but at 350 calories for the whole dish, why not?
