Healthy crispy crunchy chicken strips.

 

My family always loves my crispy crunchy chicken strips and they always want more. Being a mother to three growing children, I am on a quest to find recipes that are cost effective, nutritious and quick to make. I love experimenting with chicken because it does not take long to prepare, it is a great source of protein, it is lean meat and very low in fat. Chicken tastes great and it is easily digested. One of the greatest benefits of chicken is the fact that it can prevent arthritis and other bone related diseases. It is rich in substances that aid strong healthy bones and teeth in our body. What is more, with my crispy crunchy chicken strips you only need 3 ingredients. This crispy crunchy chicken of mine could be served as lunch or starters. It is far better than shop bought fried chicken because no oil is added. It saves me money and it is just a pleasant dish to make. You can make more of my crispy crunchy chicken strips and freeze them up for later. It is perfect for starter, lunch or light dinner.

In this recipe, I used chicken breast because of its goodness. Chicken breast has a good supply of vitamins and minerals. It has been proven to reduce the risk of cancer, it controls cholesterol and high blood pressure just to mention a few. It is a good alternative if you trying to lose extra fat because chicken breast is the perfect lean meat you want in your diet.
However, you can decide to use any part of chicken for this recipe.

Why not try this healthy spaghetti with grilled mackerel for a change? It is easy to make and takes about 45  minutes to sort out.Personally, food meant more than just eating, it is a way of nourishing my body and taking care of its metabolism. What is the point of eating if it does nothing to the body? Food is to the body like breath is to life.

In this recipe, I used mackerel due to its goodness, it is a good source of vitamin D, protein, selenium and vitamin B. It is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids.It also contains the type of fat that is beneficial to our body called monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Wholemeal spaghetti is the type of pasta that I used, you can choose any pasta of your choice. However, I think it is important to know that wholemeal pasta is high in vitamin B, minerals such as manganese, selenium and magnesium. It is filling compared to refined pasta and it supplies the body’s need by slowly releasing energy.  It contains high nutritional benefits naturally, unlike refined pasta which is enriched with vitamins. The wholemeal food contains the body’s need naturally with fewer fortifications.
