After reading the name of the dish, you may wonder if it is in fact healthy but honey-smeared chicken is low in carbs, it is low-fat and high-protein, making it ideal for people who are trying to lose weight or even for someone who wants to eat healthy yet not compromise on taste. Since it is low on carbs, you can have it for dinner. Add a few raw veggies on the side and you have your healthy meal of the day. Nutritionist Priya Kathpal shares the recipe of honey-smeared chicken.
Ingredients
Method
Using a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon oil on medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook until translucent and start to turn brown (should take around 6-8 minutes). Now add honey, chilli powder and simmer for a minute. Switch off the flame, add lemon juice and keep it aside.
Preheat a large grill pan to medium-high. Smear the chicken with the remaining olive oil and season with salt. Grill until well-cooked (should take abt 10-12 minutes). Flip and cook the other side. Transfer to a plate and pour the honey glaze all over. Cover with foil and let it rest for a few minutes.
Meanwhile, grill the bell pepper until well-marked on one side, then turn it over and cook for another 2 minutes. Serve with the chicken.
You can add other grilled veggies too. Add a little hot pepper sauce on side to in case you find it too sweet!
Serves 2.
