Welcome to our Poultry Recipe Hub!

Welcome to our collection of delicious poultry recipes! Here at A Better Choice Homestead, we believe in nourishing our bodies with real, wholesome foods, and chicken stands out as a versatile and incredibly nutritious staple.

Beyond its widespread appeal, chicken is a nutritional workhorse. It's famously an outstanding source of lean, high-quality protein, which is absolutely essential for muscle growth, tissue repair, and maintaining overall bodily function.

But the benefits don't stop there. Chicken is also abundant in a spectrum of vital vitamins and minerals. You'll find generous amounts of B vitamins, particularly Vitamin B6 (crucial for energy metabolism and brain health) and Vitamin B12 (vital for nerve function and red blood cell formation). It's also rich in Niacin (Vitamin B3), which supports digestion and healthy skin, and Selenium, a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. Furthermore, chicken provides essential minerals like Phosphorus (for strong bones and teeth) and Zinc (important for immune health and wound healing).

By choosing chicken, you're not just preparing a delicious meal; you're providing a foundational source of nutrients that support energy, immunity, muscle health, and overall vitality, embodying the 'better choice' philosophy for your family's daily nutrition.

To elevate your poultry dishes from delicious to truly exceptional, consider the incredible power of fresh herbs! Beyond their delightful flavors and aromas, garden staples like rosemary, tarragon, and thyme offer a hidden boost of additional health benefits. These aromatic additions are rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and various vitamins and minerals, quietly contributing to overall wellness with every savory bite. Incorporating them into your chicken recipes not only enhances the culinary experience but also infuses your meals with nature's subtle, yet potent, nutritional gifts – a truly simple and flavorful way to embrace A Better Choice Homestead's philosophy.

This dish is a flavor explosion! If you like chicken and peanut butter, you will love this. You'll need to decide how thick you want your sauce. I like mine the consistency of pancake batter. When served in bibb lettuce, it is a very light meal, but oh so satisfying!

This is a local dish and also a local favorite. It is incredibly flavorful. If we eat at a restaurant where this is on the menu, I am ordering it. But the great thing about making it in your own kitchen is that you get to control the ingredients and heat level. If you like spicy, kick it up! If you are not a big heat fan, just use sweet peppers (with maybe a dash of red pepper flakes!). This will likely become one of your family's favorite dishes too.

This recipe is a little bit of a twist on Marry Me Chicken. I use tomatoes that I dehydrate from the garden. They bring amazing flavor and peace of mind knowing that nothing from the garden goes to waste! You can certainly substitute the dehydrated tomatoes for the traditional sun-dried tomatoes. I also use freeze-dried herbs but you can use fresh or store-bought dried.

I pair this with Instant Pot cooked rice, making this a super simple meal. Just combine equal parts of white rice and water in the Instant Pot, without the trivet. Cook on high for 6 minutes and let it do a natural vent for 10 minutes. Then you can manually release the rest of the steam. You will have perfectly cooked rice!

I love black rice! It's also known as forbidden rice, but don't let that stop you. It is incredibly tasty and good for you. With high levels of antioxidant, (anthocyanins, especially) along with fiber, protein, and good for you minerals, it is a wonderful grain to rotate through your diet. And it is a perfect pairing with Tuscan Chicken.

I took liberty on this dish and opted to use my own dehydrated tomatoes rather than store-bought sun-dried tomatoes. To me, the flavor is the same and I know that my tomatoes were grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. Win-Win!

Comfort food at its finest! This is a hearty meal filled with feel-good chicken, a saucy broth, and colorful veggies. This is sure to fill you up in a feel-good way!

This sandwich really does rival the name. It is tender and juicy and absolutely delicious! The trick is in the pickle juice brine, so don't skip that step. But if you are in a hurry, you can do a quick 30-minute soak in the refrigerator while you get everything ready to cook. I like to prep a few extra pieces of chicken when I make this. I j just put them in their own freeze bag with the brine and pop them into the freezer. When we want to eat them, we transfer them to the refrigerator and let them brine as they defrost.

This recipe is a symphony of sweet, savory, and subtly spicy notes. Juicy pineapple-infused chicken finds its perfect partner in a bed of creamy, fragrant coconut rice, creating a balanced and deeply satisfying meal that's both comforting and exotic!

Indulge in the ultimate comfort classic: velvety Butter Chicken. Tender chicken simmers in a rich, creamy, and aromatic tomato-based sauce, perfectly balanced by the crisp, vibrant snap of pan-seared green beans. A deeply satisfying meal that warms the soul.

This recipe yields a lot of sauce! You can up the amount of chicken and rice to feed more, or you can save the extra sauce in your freezer for a future meal.
