To make your chicken and spinach lower calorie, use skinless chicken breast instead of thighs and drumsticks since it contains low fat and calories. Aside from that, you should not cook with oil or butter to avoid added fats. Instead, opt for a cooking spray or a small amount of broth or water.

Hi all! Using a spray of olive oil instead of pouring it in can cut down on fat, though you might miss that richer flavor.

Absolutely! For a lower-calorie chicken and spinach dish, try using boneless, skinless chicken breasts and a light olive oil spray instead of heavy oils. Add lots of herbs and spices for flavor without extra calories. It’s all about making it tasty and healthy!

there are some easy ways to keep it healthy without compromising on taste. First, go for skinless chicken breasts or thighs since they’re leaner but still satisfying. Marinating the chicken in lemon juice, garlic, and some herbs can add a ton of flavor without needing heavy sauces. When it comes to cooking the spinach, using just a tiny bit of olive oil or even some chicken broth works great to keep things light. You could also throw in some extra veggies like tomatoes or bell peppers to make the dish more filling without adding too many calories. And to finish it off, a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of fresh herbs can really brighten up the dish. The key is to focus on fresh ingredients and smart seasoning to keep it tasty and healthy.
