Healthy chicken recipes: From grilled to stir-fried

Adobo seasoning is a favourite among Puerto Rican cooks and always includes powdered garlic, onion and oregano, among other spices. Here's a tasty version.
2. Chicken and Asparagus Royale
Velvety chicken, seasonal asparagus and oyster mushrooms in a soupy Chinese sauce enriched with tiny specks of egg makes a luxurious -- and nutritious -- dish. Serve on a bed of rice.
3. Chicken and Walnut Stir-Fry
Toss this summery chicken mixture with hot cooked penne and a bit of extra-virgin olive oil, or spoon it over a bed of rice.
4. Chicken Cober
Classic flavours blend together so well that you will be proud to serve this on any occasion.
5. Chicken Soup with Bread Dumplings
Since you start with chicken stock, this satisfying soup is full of flavour, despite so few ingredients.
6. Margarita Chicken
Citrus, tequila, hot pepper and spices make a lively tropical marinade for chicken.
7. Chicken and Orange Salad with Cream Dressing
An old-fashioned cream dressing adds a touch of nostalgia to this salad.
8. Chicken With Peppercorns and Capers
The grape juice adds a slightly sweet taste to this spicy and savoury dish that goes well with rice.
9. One-Pot Chicken with Barley
This meal uses pot barley to good advantage, as it soaks up the flavours from the chicken and vegetables.
10. Stir-Fried Chicken with Broccoli and Mushrooms
Stir-fries are a super way to meet a number of nutritional recommendations. They traditionally supply plenty of vegetables while making it an easy task to cut down on blood cholesterol–elevating saturated fats. But, all too often, stir-fries are laden with sodium. Using sodium-reduced soy sauce and a homemade or sodium-reduced stock helps slash the sodium count, making your stir-fry a better choice for maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
