You will need one prepared rotisserie roasted chicken - original flavor, dried parsley, your favorite fruit preserves or glazing sauce. Place the bird into a baking pan. You can also use your slow cooker for this recipe if you wish. Using a kitchen brush, apply the fruit preserves in a thin layer onto the bird. Both apricot and preserves tastes exceptionally love with this recipe.

Sprinkle with parsley and place into a preheated 350 degree oven for about thirty minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly heated. Enjoy with whole grain bread, couscous, a side of green beans or carrots and a skinny shake recipe of your choice - or your favorite low calorie beverage.

Let's begin by examining the data for the skin of the bird. No meat - just the skin. Wow - look at the fat gram content; it's not pretty, is it? Almost 40 total dietary fat grams in the skin of one roasted chicken.

And now let's look at the chicken breast. One breast is substantial in caloric content, even with the skin removed. Three ounces equals about 1/2 of a breast - so when dining be sure to only enjoy that amount for your weight loss plan menu.

Rotisserie Chicken Breast Calories, Nutrition Facts

There isn't much to the drumsticks and wings of a bird in way of edible meat. One roasted drumstick contains a skinny 114 calories and only 6.35 total dietary grams of fat - even when consumed with the skin. Minus the skin and we can minus a few calories; the total calories decrease to 93 and the total dietary fat grams decrease to 3.61. That's quite impressive - just by simply removing the skin.

If we compare these calories to that of the roasted chicken breast we will see a vast difference. One breast contains 631 calories and over 28 total dietary fat grams when the skin is left on. Without the skin, calories in the roasted chicken breast decrease to 508 calories and about 12 total dietary fat grams.

While caloric values did not decrease significantly - just look at the reduction in fat gram content. By removing the skin we've slashed total dietary fat content by more than one-half.
