Tipps

Choosing Chicken

Always opt for fresh chicken. Frozen chicken often has additives and preservatives which can trigger histamine.

Using Fresh Lemon

Use freshly squeezed lemon juice as it's richer in flavor and more conducive for the low histamine diet compared to bottled ones.

Grilling the Chicken

Avoid overcooking to keep the chicken juicy and tender. It's done when it reaches 165°F internally.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this grilled chicken with a side of fresh salad with olive oil dressing, steamed carrot or sweet potato for a complete low-histamine meal.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover grilled chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a covered skillet over medium heat until thoroughly warmed.
