EAT CLEAN · INGREDIENT
Chicken is where diets go to get boring — dry breast, sad broccoli, quiet suffering. It doesn't have to be that. These recipes treat chicken like food: seared, sauced, crisped and stacked into meals with real flavor and 30g+ of protein per serving.
Nutrition values are estimates per serving.

Breast for maximum protein per calorie, thighs when the dish needs to survive reheating or a grill. The recipes here use both — the swap line tells you when either works.
