Southern Chicken Recipes

Removing the chicken fat and skin and adding no salt to the tasty sauce makes this chicken favorite heart-healthy.

This is a Southern Living Recipe (from the magazine and website). It is very easy and quite tasty. I listed it so I could calculate the calories and share the recipe with a friend. The original recipe calls for pork, but the 'options' for pork chops as an ingredient were so confusing I listed chicken instead (instructions for both included). (The picture is of the pork)

Pecans are the nuts of choice in the south. This is a twist on the familiar chicken Waldorf Salad.

This recipe is out of Dr. Phil's book: "The Ultimate Weight Solution Cookbook". This recipe will help you lose your preference for regular fried chicken.

Southern Chicken Sandwich

Recipe from Pensey's Spices (Chicken added for protein)

It’s so hard to get a homemade recipe for chicken salad if you ask people. Everyone always says “well…I don’t know…I never measure when I make it.” I always hate when people tell me that lol but I find myself saying the same thing. It really is one of those recipe that you just throw how much of each ingredient in that you like. I’ve been getting so many request for it, I thought I’d make it and try to write down everything I put in it.

Southern Living for Todya February 2009 issue, My boyfriend's sister made this without the mushrooms and I thought it was great. We substituted obvious things for lighter versions, like the cream of mushroom and used light buttermilk.

This is a Spark 'Editor's Choice' recipe that I modified for the crockpot, and shredded to make sandwiches with. It's very good. I like it because it's not a traditional bbq type sauce.

Lighten up this hearty all-American favorite by switching to oven frying.

You don't use all the egg and flour, so the calorie count is less than it shows.

Chicken and Yellow Rice

crunchy and delicious oven fried chicken

Easy recipe for everyone who craves the crispiness of real fried chicken but can do without the outragious calories and fat.

This is wonderful when I'm craving fried or other fast food. I love to bake this off and serve it sliced on a healthy salad for added protein and a different texture. Don't forget the hot sauce!

Best FLAVOR , color and crispy we've ever had - just make sure the oil stays hot so the fat is reduced.
