About Herb-crusted chicken

Herb-Crusted Chicken is a flavorful dish combining tender, juicy chicken breasts with a savory crust of fresh herbs and breadcrumbs. This dish draws inspiration from Mediterranean cuisine, known for its emphasis on herbs like parsley, rosemary, thyme, and oregano. The crust is typically made with whole-grain breadcrumbs, olive oil, garlic, and freshly chopped herbs, adding a satisfying texture and fragrant aroma. Rich in lean protein, Herb-Crusted Chicken supports muscle growth and satiety, making it a nutritious option. Olive oil in the recipe provides heart-healthy fats, while the absence of heavy sauces or frying keeps it relatively low in calories and saturated fats. However, moderation is key, as excessive breadcrumbs or added salt can increase carbohydrate and sodium levels. Pair it with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced, wholesome meal.
