What are the health benefits of eating chicken?

➡️ Chicken is in 2022 one of the most popular foods all over the world. It is very delicious and affordable, but did you know that eating chicken has a lot of health benefits? Actually, there are many health benefits of eating chicken. It is rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and proteins, which are essential for our body.

➡️ A study by the University of Alberta found that eating chicken on a regular basis may have more health benefits than eating red meat. Chicken is a versatile protein, and it can be used to make salads and sandwiches, and as a replacement for meat in soups and casseroles.

➡️ Chicken is high in protein and low in fat and cholesterol. It contains selenium, which is an antioxidant. This antioxidant helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes and can help to prevent skin cancer.

➡️ Chicken is also a good source of iron, calcium, and vitamin B12, which is essential for the formation of blood. It’s also rich in folic acid, a B-vitamin that helps in the formation of DNA and RNA, and it contains zinc, which is essential for the formation of enzymes and hormones.

Tips For The Greek Marinated Chicken Skewers Recipe

➡️ Grilled chicken is, probably, one of the oldest chicken recipes all over the world. Roasting meat pieces on skewers is a very natural way to cook meat, so it’s not surprising at all that this method appeared when the hominids began to prepare food on fire. Even today, making skewers remained a pleasure for the modern man! I think there are very few people who don’t like fried meat directly on charcoal.

➡️ Chicken skewers, chicken kebabs, or chicken kabobs, as they are named in some parts of the world, are at the top of preferences when it comes to this kind of food. As a result, there are available lots of marinade recipes for grilled chicken.

➡️ For sure, each one of us has a preferred chicken kebab recipe. To be honest, I like any type of chicken skewer, generally speaking, but Greek kabobs have a special place in my top of preferences.

➡️ However, the recipe that I share in this video is very suitable for the torrid summer days. This is because chicken meat is easier to digest when is very warm, the kebabs are ready very quickly, and everything can be done outdoors, so you won’t heat up your kitchen.

➡️ Chicken skewers can be served plain, maybe just with a fresh vegetable salad on the side. Of course, there are different side dishes that fit very well with grilled chicken. Some of them are mashed potatoes, cold potato salad, fries, cold green bean salad, and others.

What are cooking tips?

➡️ Cooking tips are a set of information provided by the creator of a recipe, an experienced chef, or a culinary expert to prepare food in the best possible way.
