7 Delicious Low-Carb Chicken Recipes for Faster Fat Loss

7 low charb chicken recipes!

So you want some low-carb chicken recipes for faster fat loss. Great, you’ve landed on the right page!

Chicken is one of the best sources of high-quality protein that is naturally low in fat and carbohydrates. It’s also up there with the most readily available proteins being trumped by Eggs, Cows Milk, Fish, and Beef. Apart from eggs and fish the others are either high in fats or sugars.

If you are trying to lose body fat there’s often a lot of emphasis on eggs, fish, chicken, and turkey for their high protein to low-fat ratio.

Like many of my clients, fish is off the menu and they don’t want to eat eggs all day so chicken becomes a must. However, if you have tried eating chicken twice a day seven days a week you’ll know it can become very boring, and getting excited about what’s for dinner soon disappears.

Until now that is! We’ve found seven of our favorite, delicious low-carb chicken recipes to help you stay on track so you reach your weight loss goals.

Let’s get started.  One thing to remember, if the recipe has wraps, rice, potatoes or any other carbohydrate just remove it and add extra vegetables or salad. Most of these should be free from carbohydrates. Be foodwise!

 6. Sheet Pan Chicken Fajitas

If chicken fajitas weren’t easy enough anyway you can bake it all in one hit!  Most of the calories from fajitas come from the wraps and sauces. Just hold the wraps and use the salad or some lettuce leaves instead.

 7. Grilled Chili Cilantro Lime Chicken

This recipe gives the chicken a sweet, salty, spicy, and sour taste which goes excellently with salads.  Try it with a fresh leafy salad and use the juices from the chicken recipe for added flavor.
