We Love Our Chicken
Chicken is so versatile. We put it in salads, soups, casseroles, pasta dishes, and serve it as a stand-alone main dish.
Chicken is historically the most beloved form of protein in the United States, according to sales records from grocery chains and restaurants. It ranks significantly higher than beef, pork, seafood, or other forms of poultry here in the USA.
There are uncountable ways to prepare chicken… So many ways, in fact, that we are closing in on 200 chicken recipes here on A Spicy Perspective.
Healthy Chicken Recipes
We love our chicken… And it seems to love us back!
Chicken Provides:
- Heart-healthy lean protein
- Vitamin B6 to boost your metabolism
- Vitamins B2 to help with cell regeneration
- Phosphorus to keep your teeth and bones strong
- And it acts as a natural anti-depressant, by boosting your serotonin levels.
No wonder we can’t get enough of it.
Although there are all sorts of naughty yet delicious chicken recipes, today I’m sharing my favorite super simple go-to healthy grilled chicken recipe for when I’m in a hurry!
Grilled Chicken Breast Recipe
I love these easy 4-ingredient chicken breasts so much. The seasoning mixture locks in the flavor and juices so they are zesty and tender every time.
This method makes a fabulous grilled chicken recipe. However, you can also bake them in the oven.
Although they don’t get the same charred quality, the seasoning sticks to the chicken a little better in the oven, so they are packed with flavor!

Just excellent! I love to cook but some nights I just want something easy. Tonight was one of those nights. This was super easy and the chicken was so moist. I used whole grain mustard because that’s what I had and used Duke’s light mayo on 4 large breasts and baked. Two WW Smart Points. This does NOT taste like diet food.
