Sometimes eating a healthier diet can be synonymous with suffering through boring meals, but no more! Gone are the days of plain steamed veggies, unexciting salad greens, and unseasoned chicken breasts. Instead, we’ve rounded up a variety of our favorite healthy recipes that are so flavorful, the fact that they’re healthier than most is just the cherry on top. These healthy (yet still super-satisfying) chicken breast recipes even have us rethinking our allegiance to chicken thighs (😱). Try them, and see for yourself just how good “healthy” can be.
When it comes to healthy eating, we think it's key to keep boredom at bay. Chicken breasts can often get a bad rap, but they're also the perfect blank canvas for endless flavor combos that would never come across as bland health food. The trick is to fill your plate with lots of colors and flavors, just like they do at some of your favorite fast-casual salad or bowl restaurants like Panera or Sweetgreen. Our copycat Sweetgreen harvest bowl, our copycat Chipotle burrito bowl, our copycat Panera Bread strawberry poppyseed salad, or our copycat CPK Italian chopped salad are veritable rainbows of veggies, greens, and fruits. Best part about making them at home? You can customize them however you like—we like adding beans, nuts, and hard-boiled eggs for even more protein, but you do you!
Looking for something heartier than a salad? We’ve got you covered too. Our white chicken chili, our chicken primavera spaghetti squash boats, our cheesy salsa chicken & cauliflower rice skillet, and our healthy chicken noodle soup make smart swaps, without any loss of flavor. Make a big batch—the whole family will want to get in on these.
