About Seared chicken

Seared chicken is a versatile and flavorful dish widely enjoyed across various cuisines, from American to Mediterranean. Prepared by cooking seasoned chicken breasts or thighs in a hot skillet with minimal oil, the technique locks in juices while creating a golden, caramelized crust. This dish is often seasoned with a blend of spices, herbs, or marinades, adding depth without unnecessary calories. High in protein and low in carbohydrates, seared chicken supports muscle repair and satiety, making it a popular choice for balanced meals. When prepared with skinless cuts and minimal added fats, it's a heart-healthy option rich in essential nutrients like B vitamins and selenium. However, the dish's healthfulness can vary based on preparation—using excessive oil, butter, or sodium-laden seasonings may offset its benefits. Pairing seared chicken with fresh vegetables or whole grains ensures a nutritious, well-rounded meal.
