High-Protein Chicken Recipes
Chicken bowls, wraps, soups, skillet dinners and grilled dishes with at least 25 g estimated protein per serving. US and metric ingredients and clear methods.
Find a chicken recipe for the time and ingredients you have. Every dish here contains chicken meat and provides at least 25 g estimated protein per listed serving. Broth alone does not qualify a recipe for this collection.
69 recipes. Nutrition is approximate; practical kitchen testing is pending.
Choose cooked or raw chicken before you start
Wraps and some salads use already-cooked chicken; their assembly time does not include cooking and cooling it. For a meal starting with raw chicken, choose a skillet dish, oven dinner or soup and include any marinating time in your plan.
Compare complete meals and portions
Rice, pasta and vegetables are included only when listed in the recipe ingredients. Compare protein per serving alongside the serving count and calories. Nutrition is an ingredient-based estimate, not a laboratory measurement.
Keep chicken juicy and safely cooked
Follow the cut size and cooking method on the individual page. Use a food thermometer to check chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) in its thickest part. Resting and sauce preparation matter as much as the suggested cooking time.
