In a chicken recipe rut? Looking for something new? This Ultimate Healthy Chicken Recipe Round Up contains over 60 of the most delicious, healthy chicken recipes that you have to try all with 21 Day Fix Container Counts! There is a section for every cooking method and preference. Don’t eat chicken? Most can be subbed with turkey, too!This post contains affiliate links to products I’m obsessed with.
Confession: Chicken can be boring.
But I know it really doesn’t have to be. Often, I think the issue is that we fail to branch out and just stick to our same old go-to recipes.
So, I rounded up 60+ tried and true healthy chicken (or sub turkey) recipes. Scroll to find salads, apps, lunches and dinners. I’ve also broken it down by cooking method- one skillet, Instant Pot, Air Fryer, stove top, oven, crock pot, and grilling ideas.
Take out a pen and paper, make a new Pinterest board, or start a note in your phone- because you’re gonna need a place to remember all of these new chicken ideas!
Enjoy!
