Is breaded chicken healthy?
It depends on how it’s prepared. Baking breaded chicken is a lot healthier than frying it. However, if you’re using pre-made breaded chicken which you cook in the oven, odds are that it was fried to begin with. Check the box to see the nutritional information. If you’re making them from scratch, consider looking at different recipes to figure out where you can cut calories and fat and add nutrition (bake instead of fry, use whole wheat crumbs, vs white, etc.) If you’re eating well-balanced meals, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. You need at least a little bit of fat in your diet to stay healthy.
