Honey Garlic Low Histamine Roast Chicken Recipe | Fact vs Fitness (2024)

There are few things in life as good as chicken. But, when you're histamine intolerant, it might be hard to find the right combination of flare, flavour and low histamine ingredients.

Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

Today I’ll teach you how to make a delicious low histamine chicken recipe that is sweet and savory and will satisfy your taste buds like no other.

If you’re histamine intolerant and Googling up a storm searching for chicken recipes that won’t cause your symptoms to flare up, remember one thing…..

So, one of the first steps in any low histamine chicken recipe is to ensure you are using the freshest chicken you can get.

Back to the strategy - there are two methods I use to ensure I’m keeping the histamine levels in my chicken low:

Make sure you always abide by the rules of freshness when it comes to histamine intolerance. Especially when cooking recipes that will commonly approve of using leftovers, such as soups and stews. For an example of a low histamine version, try my creamy coconut chicken soup.

The next step in creating a great low histamine chicken recipe is, of course, the ingredients!

Today, I’ve created a sweet and savory honey garlic low histamine chicken recipe that has a touch of rosemary to complement a classic favourite.

All of the ingredients in this recipe are low in histamine while containing nourishing fats to increase the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients while encouraging the release of bile to ease digestion.

Additionally, the garlic and rosemary can act to support bacterial populations within the gut, therefore contributing to a healthy intestinal microbiome - a key factor in histamine intolerance!

It’s notable that, as a nutritionist, I aim not to overdo it with the honey due to the high sugar content. Due to the high nutritional content of the ingredients, I treat myself to this low histamine honey garlic chicken recipe whenever I’m in the mood - but, I definitely try to avoid licking the honey spoon during the cooking process!
