Baked Crispy Chicken…Encrusted with Hemp Seeds

Baked Crispy Chicken encrusted with hemp seeds is a nutritious dish that offers a satisfying crunch while incorporating the health benefits of hemp seeds. Crispy Chicken never had it so good! Hemp seeds are the protein power house in these babies!

Both kids young and older will love these! Hemp seeds have an excellent 3:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids which reduces inflammation and promotes a healthy heart. In particular hemp seeds are high in gamma linolenic acid (GLA), an essential omega-6 fatty acid that has been shown to support hormone balance.

Key Nutritional Benefits of Hemp Seeds:

  • High in Protein: They provide all nine essential amino acids, making them a complete protein source.
  • Healthy Fats: Rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, promoting heart health and reducing inflammation.
  • Vitamins and Minerals: Packed with nutrients like Vitamin E, magnesium, and iron that support overall health.
  • Antioxidants: Contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), which helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
  • Digestive Health: Good source of dietary fiber, aiding in digestion and gut health.
