15 Best High Fiber Chicken Recipes To Try Today

And speaking of health, you shouldn’t underestimate the value of high fiber meals.

It doesn’t just benefit bowel movements, it also lowers cholesterol levels, helps control blood sugar levels, helps keep you feeling fuller for longer, and can help you to achieve a healthy weight.

I’ve been diligently scouring the net to find the best high fiber chicken recipes out there, and now I’m taking this opportunity to share my favorite ones with you.

In order for a food product to be labeled “high fiber,” it must contain 5 grams or more of dietary fiber per serving. So, I’m taking this as a benchmark for the recipes.

I’ve got quite a variety coming up, so you’re sure to come across a few that sound like they’d be worth a try.

Are you ready? Because here we go!

1. Healthy Chicken Cassoulet Recipe From Abbey’s Kitchen

For those of you who don’t already know, a cassoulet is a French dish of white beans with meat. And since white beans are great sources of fiber, they are generally very high fiber dishes.

This particular dish is great for warming up on a cold autumn or winter day.

It features skinless chicken breasts, low fat turkey sausages, beans, tomatoes, minced garlic cloves, onions, herbs de provence, bay leaf, thyme, and an All-Bran topping.

2. Honey & Mustard Chicken Thighs With Spring Veg Recipe From BBC Good Food

This is a super simple dish that doesn’t require a whole lot of ingredients. Each serving provides 7 grams of fiber.

You begin with a simple marinade for the chicken, which is made with honey, mustard, garlic and lemon zest and juice.

Place the chicken thighs on a tray with some skin-on new potatoes, caramelize the chicken in the oven, then add spinach and peas and put it back in the oven until ready.

3. Chicken Hummus Bowls Recipe From Eating Well

This is just such a healthy dish! Not only is it high in fiber, but it’s also high in protein, relatively low in calories, and allergen-free.

It’s a simple dish, much like a typical chicken salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumber and red onion, but there’s also hummus, which is known for being high in fiber, and the chicken breast is cooked in a paste made with oil, cumin, paprika, cayenne and a pinch of salt, before having minced garlic and lemon juice added.

4. Chicken And Zucchini Quesadilla Recipe From Mayo Clinic

Now, this dish provides a whopping 16 grams of dietary fiber per serving – and it tastes great, too!

Quesadillas are a Mexican dish, and as you may imagine, there is plenty of heat. This is thanks to ingredients such as Tabasco sauce, jalapeno peppers, and ground cumin.

It also features diced chicken breast, diced zucchini and bell pepper, tomato, red onion, garlic, and shredded cheddar cheese. All wrapped up in whole wheat tortilla wraps.  

5. Chicken Pesto Meatballs With Green Peas And Pasta Recipe From Healthy Food

This dish provides 7.8 grams of fiber per serving, and requires very few ingredients. Namely pasta shells, ground chicken, frozen peas, diced red onion, rocket, baby spinach, tomato pesto, flour and smoked paprika.

It’s also fun to make, and you can make it even higher in fiber if you can get your hands on whole wheat pasta shells.

This is quite the  crowd pleaser, and once you’re practiced in it, you’ll want to make it again and again!

Here’s another great dish, with those oh-so popular garlic and onion flavors. It’s a nice, mild dish that’s not overpowering.

It’s also very low in calories, at a mere 319 calories per serving, and also happens to be gluten-free and dairy-free as well.

7. High-Protein Chickpea Chicken Soup Recipe From Her Highness Hungry Me

Talk about comfort food – this soup recipe is amazing! And again, it requires very few ingredients.

You’ve also got a nice mix of textures with the filo pastry and crunchy chopped carrot. And such a dish is not complete without some crushed garlic cloves and salad leaves.

12. Cinnamon Chicken With Bean Salad Recipe From Taste

I wish I had discovered this dish sooner – I’d have it every day if my partner enjoyed it as much as I do. It’s not something I would have come up with myself, but it certainly works.

You begin with a marinade for the chicken made with cinnamon, sugar, sherry and oil.

And when the chicken is cooked you serve it on a bed of high fiber beans, enhanced with mustard, and topped with a beetroot relish. Yum!

Brussel sprouts may not be to everyone’s taste, but those who do like them, love them.

And some mushrooms, onions, garlic, Boursin cheese, and herbs thyme, rosemary, and chives.

Better yet, you can make the whole thing in one pot, which saves washing too many dishes. There’s even a handy video showing you what to do. Perfect!

Wrap Up
