Chicken is the touch of protein that we love to include in our plates (with a protein content of 24g per 100g of product*). When digested, this white meat, a flagship food for athletes, is neither too heavy nor too fatty (only 9g of lipids per 100g of chicken*). Enough to balance any plate of summer vegetables, salad, or even sandwiches, to enjoy on the go or on the road to the holidays. Especially since in chicken, everything is good! Whether it’s the thigh, the wing or the breast, everything can be cooked. Here are 7 recipes that will put chicken in the spotlight.

Summer is all about grilling

On vacation, there is only one watchword: simplicity. With a plancha or a barbecue, cooking chicken is simple. Let the magic of the charcoal work on the chicken placed as is on the grill, without the need to add cream or sauce. The opportunity to enjoy chicken in all simplicity, with, why not, a touch of olive oil and some herbs for the Provençal touch. Accompanied by vegetables from the sun, a few lemon zests or pieces, or even a marinade made from peaches, your grill will honor summer.

Chicken can also be eaten cold.

To change from the preparation of simmered chicken in cream or baked in the oven (which, in this heat, would not be the best idea), opt for lightness and concoct beautiful composed salads. Whether you think of an improvised salad with what you have left in the refrigerator, or a very specific salad, like the Caesar salad (the famous one dedicated to chicken), dare! Chicken goes well with all possible mescluns. A few slices of warm or cold chicken with a little feta, parmesan shavings or mimolette and you will have the perfect combo for any salad base. For example, place this chicken / cheese combination on a few lamb’s lettuce leaves, pieces of cucumber, olives, tomatoes or even grilled eggplant (cooled), the flavors will be there!
