Why Chicken Is the Perfect Meat
A chicken breast is the healthiest part of the chicken, with lowest calories for chicken. There are 110 calories in an average chicken breast. White meat is the leanest part of the chicken, which means it is the wisest choice for dieters. Chicken breasts are also the easiest to cook with, and dieters find that they are very versatile and easy to use. Calories in other chicken parts are as follows: a drumstick has 119 calories as does a thigh, a leg has 120 calories and wings have 125 calories. Many people have a favorite piece of chicken that they love. Just remember that however you prepare the chicken can add a lot or little calories depending on what you do.
Cooking methods may also affect calories. Roasting a chicken is the healthiest and leanest way to cook the poultry. It will retain most of its flavors, and herbs can be added to bring out more flavor, but with this method there is no need to add butter or oil. Sautéing chicken can be fatty or it can be diet friendly. This depends on whether you use oil or butter as the main ingredient. Frying chicken is obviously the unhealthiest form of cooking chicken, as fatty oil will add calories to the already fatty skin of the chicken. Grilling chicken is another great way to reduce amount of calories and make the chicken taste great.
Dieters love both the variety of uses and how affordable the meat really is. So, remember even if you are dieting you can enjoy your chicken prepared a variety of ways because it's easy to use and cheap to buy.

Caribbean Grilled Chicken Recipe
Grilling season is not over yet! I had some chicken breasts that I decided to grill last weekend and I haven't done too much Caribbean style grilling lately, so I thought I'd go that route. I don't get paid to advertise for McCormick spices, but I have to tell you, I love McCormick Caribbean Jerk Seasoning. I always create my own spice rubs, but I haven't put together my own jerk seasoning yet--the reason being that I just love the McCormick blend so darned much.
I mulled over how I was going to marinate my chicken, and I thought: What could I use as a base to provide some interesting layers of flavor? Then it came to me: Coca-Cola! I'd never cooked with Coca-Cola before. I went to my word processor and started making a list of the things I thought should be included in a Caribbean marinade. I then followed my own instructions for the recipe, and the results were VERY pleasing!
Ingredients:
6 skinless & boneless chicken breasts
1 cup fresh squeezed orange juice
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lime juice
1/2 cup olive oil
1 bottle or can (12 oz.) Coca-Cola Classic
6 tbsp. green onion, finely chopped
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp. McCormick Caribbean Jerk Seasoning
2 tbsp. dried parsley flakes
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tsp. course ground black pepper
Instructions:
In a large bowl or casserole, mix the orange juice, the lime juice, the olive oil, the Coca-Cola Classic, the garlic, the parsley flakes, the brown sugar, 1 tbsp. of the McCormick Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and 2 tbsp. of the chopped green onion. (Set aside the other tbsp. of the jerk seasoning and 4 tbsp. of the chopped green onion to use later.) After the ingredients in the bowl are blended well, add the chicken breasts and swish them around in the marinade a little bit. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of an hour--all day if possible. When grilling the chicken (preferably on a charcoal grill), sprinkle each side with the remaining jerk seasoning. After flipping the chicken for the last time, sprinkle the remaining chopped green onions over chicken. This chicken tastes great on its own or topped with my Caribbean mango salsa. (See recipe below.)
CARIBBEAN MANGO SALSA
Ingredients:
2/3 cup chopped mango
2 tbsp. fresh squeezed lime juice
2 tbsp. fresh squeezed orange juice
4 rounded tsp. jalapeño peppers (with most of the seeds and membrane removed), very finely chopped.
4 rounded tsp. finely chopped red onions.
2 rounded tsp. finely chopped red bell peppers.
2 rounded tsp. finely chopped green bell peppers.
1 tsp. dried parsley flakes
1/2 tsp. Lawry's seasoned pepper
Instructions:
Mix all ingredients well and refrigerate for an hour or more before
serving.

Simple Grilled Chicken Recipes For an Indoor Grill
Outdoor grilling can be a lot of fun but sometimes it is not possible. If the weather is bad, you can grill delicious recipes on an indoor grill.
An indoor grill is good for just about anything that you can grill outdoors, so if you like spicy grilled chicken recipes, hot dogs, fish, vegetables, hamburgers and more, you might want to invest in an indoor grill.
There are various types of indoor grills, you can get contact grills with heated lids, and bottom plates, meaning you can cook your food on both sides at once. Other grills are open and have a large cooking surface. Removable cooking plates are important because this makes cleanup easy.
If you have a big family or you like to have people over, choose a grill with a big cooking surface so you can cook enough food at once.
How Long Does Chicken Take to Grill?
Cook boneless chicken pieces for about five minutes per side over a high heat, for the best results. When the outside is golden brown and there is no pink in the center of the chicken, it is done. Obviously thicker chicken pieces will take longer to cook. You can grill plain chicken pieces or use a rub or marinade to add extra flavor.
Check the internal temperature of the cooked chicken if you have a meat thermometer. Chicken should be 165 degrees F in the center, in order to be safe to eat. If not, give the chicken a bit longer on the grill.
Recipe for Spicy Grilled Chicken
The chicken in the following recipe marinates in a tasty, spicy marinade, and then you grill it. This is one of the most simple grilled chicken recipes and it is nice served with rice and a green salad.
You can add some extra red pepper flakes for extra spiciness if you enjoy really spicy grilled chicken recipes but be careful not to add to much because red pepper can overpower the gentler flavors in the marinade.
You will need:
6 chicken breast halves, boneless and skinless
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon lime zest
1/3 cup canola oil
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon salt
2 crushed garlic cloves
How to make it:
Combine the lime zest, lime juice and canola oil in a bowl, then stir in the salt, red pepper, black pepper, garlic and oregano. Add the chicken breasts to this mixture, turning them a few times so they are well coated in it.
Cover the bowl and let the chicken marinate in this mixture for an hour, turning them a couple of times. Preheat the grill to medium high and oil the cooking plate. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill it for about 7 minutes per side or until the outside is golden brown and the juices from the center run clear.

Cajun Bourbon Grilled Chicken Recipe
I just put this simple recipe together and tested it yesterday. Talk about layer upon layer of flavor! The brown sugar and bourbon marinade gives the meat sweetness and full flavor from within. The Creole spices provide a nice tangy surface.
While you can use pre-mixed Cajun or Creole spice blends as a substitute for my mix (described below the chicken recipe), it would be well worth your while to mix from my instructions (or tweak it a little if you'd like). In "I'm Just Here for the Food," Alton Brown describes how he bought a jar of spice mix with a full color photo of a celebrity chef on the label. At the same time he bought all of the individual ingredients that were listed in the chef's mix. He put together his own blend of the raw ingredients and, using a pharmacy scale, discovered that the markup on the chef's mixture was about 500%! It will take a little time to mix these, but if you do, you'll have plenty left over for when you make jambalaya, gumbo, blackened fish or chicken, etc.

Grilled Chicken Breasts and Grilled Potato Medley
This is a great summer chicken recipe for the grill. It can be served with a variety of side dishes or other summer fare. We are serving it with our favorite medley of potatoes and vegetables.
Boneless skinless chicken breast halves, fresh or thawed
salt
1 tbsp onion powder
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Dip each chicken breast into cold water and place between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a flat meat pounder, gently pound the chicken breast into a flat sheet about 1/4-inch thick. Season each piece on both sides with salt and pepper. Place the chicken into a gallon size ziplock bag.
Combine the minced garlic, parmesan cheese, fresh chives, lime juice and olive oil. Pour into the ziplock bag over the chicken and seal the bag. Let the chicken remain in the marinade for at least 1 hour. Refrigerate the chicken until 15 minutes before grilling.
Prepare your gas or charcoal grill for cooking. Grill each chicken breast until firm to the touch, 1 to 2 minutes per side. (It is important to pound the chicken breast to maintain a uniform thickness through the whole chicken breast. This will ensure that the entire breast is done at the same time.)
Grilled Potatoes and Vegetables
6 medium Red Potatoes
1 whole onions cut into thin wedges
Red Peppers
Banana Peppers
Garlic Salt
Pepper
Zucchini slices (optional)
1 to 2 tbsp Vegetable oil
Cut clean, washed red potatoes into cubes about 1/2 inch thick. Cut onions into wedges. Cut red and banana peppers into strips. Toss all the ingredients together in light vegetable oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper.
Place your grilling basket on the hot grill. Add the potato and vegetable mixture. Be careful of flare-ups from the vegetable oil. Begin tossing the vegetable medley immediately and as needed throughout the grilling process. The vegetables can be tossed like you would a salad or a stir fry, using one or two metal utensils. Do not let the vegetables stick to the grilling basket or they will burn. The vegetables are finished when the potatoes are tender.
Important Tips:
Place charcoal on only one side of your grill. This will give you an area to move your chicken or cooking basket if the grill gets too hot.
Cut the potatoes into small enough pieces so that they will cook quickly. You may want to add the other vegetables after you have cooked the potatoes for 3 to 4 minutes. This will prevent the onions and peppers from overcooking.
If you have a small grill, cook the potatoes first, remove from the grill and prepare the chicken. Then place the grilling basket back on the grill and add the vegetable to the potatoes and cook a few more minutes. If you have a larger grill, you may be able to keep the potatoes warm in the basket, while you cook the chicken.
Lean Budget Tips
After pounding the chicken, you may want to cut the fillets in half or in pieces. This will control the portion size of the chicken and make it easier to grill.
The vegetable medley is quite economical and can be altered with other of your favorite vegetables.
If red peppers are not in season, sprinkle red pepper flakes on the medley for a nice kick to the potatoes.
Lean and Healthy Tips
Grilled boneless and skinless chicken as prepared in this recipe offers an excellent meal that is low in calories as compared to other main dishes.
This chicken is also great served over a lettuce salad either hot or cold. The parmesan flavor to the chicken makes it quite delicious served either way.

Sweet Pineapple Salsa And Grilled Chicken
Sweet pineapple and grilled chicken combine together perfectly to create an incredibly delicious meal everyone is sure to ask for all year round. If you want to make an easy to prepare meal that looks and tastes as if it was made by a gourmet chef, grilled chicken along with chunks of pineapple, chopped peppers, and a selection of spices may be just what you have been looking for.
When making pineapple salsa for chicken, you may want to vary your recipe by adding different types of fruits and vegetables. Experiment with the salsa using various peppers, red, orange, green, and yellow, as well as a variety of fruits such as coconut, limes, mangos, and oranges.
You may want to make this dish several times using different combinations of ingredients before you find the one that becomes your favorite. You can also add ingredients such as honey, soy, or teriyaki sauce to the chicken marinade along with different blends of spices including cinnamon, curry, and ginger.
Grilled Chicken with Pineapple Salsa Recipe
What You Need
1/4 cup lemon juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
3 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon oregano
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1-1/2 cups pineapple, cut into chunks
2 large tomatoes, deseeded and chopped
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 jalapeno pepper, deseeded and chopped
1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1/2 cup lime juice
Salt and pepper to taste
How to Make It
In a large, resealable plastic bag big enough to hold all 6 chicken breasts, add the 3 juices, canola oil, sugar, cumin, pepper, salt, and oregano. Seal the bag and shake to mix well. Add the chicken breasts to the bag, seal, and shake again to coat thoroughly.
If you need to use two plastic bags, simply divide the ingredients in half and put 3 pieces of chicken in each.
Refrigerate the chicken breasts for at least 4 hours to marinate.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the cut pineapple, the chopped tomatoes, onion, peppers, cilantro, lime juice, and the salt and pepper and mix well together. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
After preheating the grill on medium, remove the chicken from the plastic bag and discard the marinade.
Grill the chicken over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until the center of the breasts are no longer pink and the juices run clear. Do not pierce the chicken too often while cooking as losing too much juice will cause the meat to become dry.
Stir the pineapple salsa and spoon over the grilled chicken and serve. You may also want to sprinkle freshly squeezed lemon juice over top of the chicken and salsa. Serve with a variety of salad greens and vegetables, rice or potatoes.
Serves 6.

Gas Grill Cooking - Time For Chicken
Cooking Chicken on the Grill - Facing The Grilling Time Dilemma
Have you ever tried to cook chicken on a grill? Do you often get stuck with the chicken grilling time dilemma? Very few of us are successful in grilling chicken, especially those who practice it only over the weekend. Several days efforts are needed to learn how to get that perfect grilled chicken with mouthwatering aroma and taste. Any wrong estimation of gas grill cooking time for chicken will actually land you in a soup if you do not follow the right method. Timing is crucial for a nicely grilled chicken. So, read on if you want to avoid overcooked, uncooked or burnt chicken and enjoy a great barbecue party at home.
Know When Your Chicken is Cooked
It is important to know the exact time to cook chicken on a grill so that you get the desired results. The best way is to grill chicken on a low heat (230 degrees F. to 250 degrees F.) for about 45 minutes or maybe just a few minutes, depending upon how hot the grill is. A meat thermometer will help you to monitor the internal temperature of the meat without slicing it in the grill. Thus, you'll be able to avoid the releasing of moisture in the grill while cooking and will also reduce your chances of undercooking or overcooking.
The Right Cooking Time for Chicken - With or Without Bones
If you are cooking for the first time, you need to keep in mind whether the chicken is boneless or not. In case of boneless chicken, the internal temperature is about 170 degree F. when it is fully done. The ideal chicken cook time for bones is 180 degree F.
Tips for the Perfect Taste
Those who have an iron grate on the grill need to brush it with vegetable oil and olive oil before grilling the chicken. This will help to prevent the chicken from getting stuck to the grill while cooking. Those who are using gas bbq grill can prepare some of the best and tasty barbequed chicken by keeping in mind the various factors affecting the chicken cooking time.
If you baste your grilled chicken with BBQ sauce you will surely have your guests wanting for more. It gives a mouthwatering taste to the chicken prepared in gas bbq grill, but if used before the grilling, the chicken can burn and taste bitter as the sugar in the sauce burn with the chicken.
Pre-Serving Tips
Once you have cooked your chicken in a gas bbq grill or any other grill, let it rest for some time before cutting it into slices. If you start cutting the hot chicken immediately after taking it off the grill, the fluids may run out of the meat, reducing its softness. If the chicken is allowed to rest for some time in a grill after being cooked this won't happen.
So next time, you plan a party outdoors, make a sumptuous meal of grilled chicken and enjoy it with your family and friends.

Tasty Chicken Breast Grilled Perfectly
Cooking on a grill is one of the most interesting activities that could spice up any summer gimmick you have in mind. Outdoor picnics and barbecue parties are best enjoyed with tasty treats that have that delectable smoky flavor. Among the favorite grilled treats children and adults love are grilled chicken breasts cooked to their tastiest perfection. In this article, we give you tips on how to make tasty chicken breasts using the versatile outdoor cooking device: the grill!
Tip #1: Chicken breasts are meaty parts. To get the best out of their flavor, make sure that you season them well before grilling. Concoct every kind of marinade imaginable. You can mix and match different condiments, for as long as you're sure your family and guests would love the outcome. If their taste buds are on the sweet side, pop in some sugar; if they are on the spicy side, add some chili flakes. It is quite easy to invent a new marinade. There are a handful of condiments that go along well together. FYI: You do not need to dip your chicken overnight to be infused with the flavor of your marinade. An hour or so would do. Just remember that lesser time to marinade would require stronger flavor.
Tip #2: To get evenly cooked chicken, make sure that they are of approximately the same size. Different sizes naturally require different temperatures and time to cook.
Tip #3: Coat your chicken with oil before cooking. This will prevent the skin of your meat to be damaged during the cooking process.
Tip #4: Always preheat your grill before popping in the chicken. Turn on the flames at high heat for at lest 15 minutes with the lid on so the heat circulates onto the grill surface. When the grill is completely heated, you can start popping in the chicken.
Tip #5: Make sure that you are cooking your chicken all the way through. To ensure that your meat is cooked right, you may insert a thermometer and see to it that the inside temperature reaches 170degrees. You may also make a cut on the meatiest part of your chicken breast. If there are no more pink parts, your chicken is cooked.
Cooking chicken breasts on the grill is pretty easy, simple, and tasty. Chicken are meaty and flavorful yet inexpensive as compared to other meats like beef and pork. However, you must be careful about cooking your chicken breasts on the grill. Chicken meat is less dense, thus, the bacteria travels faster. If you do not cook the meat of your chicken breasts through, your food may be contaminated with bacteria.
