High Protein Chicken Recipes

High protein chicken recipes… if you are anything like me, you will often think, ugh, chicken again?? But sadly, if you’re trying to eat more protein, boneless skinless chicken breasts are one of the best protein options for high protein meals. But don’t worry, you can make a variety of meals that are also versatile, filling, and not your typical bland diet food. And bonus points: the whole family will love them!

All of these recipes in the post are made in my kitchen and taste tested not only by me but also by my picky children and our friends. These recipes range from pasta to soups to crockpot dinners. They will keep you full and also make meal prep for the week easier.

Tips and Tricks For High Protein Chicken Food

• Make sure your chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of at least 165 degrees using a food thermometer.
• Other ways to add protein to a recipe include mixing in Greek yogurt, blending cottage cheese, or using protein pasta.
• Portion the meals into meal prep containers for easy grab and reheat.
• Always track your recipes in a program that provides macros; I personally use MyFitnessPal.com for tracking and calculations.
