Biryani also has a pretty wide fan base outside of India. The versatile nature of the dish makes it one of the most well-loved dishes in the world. Chicken biryani, mutton biryani, veg biryani, and all the variations of biryani are a part of Indian cuisine.

So, when we talk about chicken biryani, we do so with the utmost fondness and delight. But let’s all agree that boneless chicken biryani is way better because it saves you the hassle of picking out bones from your mouth while you’re enjoying your biryani. So, in this blog, we will talk about boneless chicken biryani recipes. Let’s get into it!

Boneless chicken biryani calories

We all enjoy biryani, and no one can disagree that biryani doesn’t taste good. Moreover, we must keep in mind that biryani is not that healthy. Considering all of the ingredients that go in biryani, it is quite a heavy food item, and if consumed daily, can lead to various health risks.

Since biryani has been seen to make people instantly happy, no one keeps in mind the calorie count. Granted, a dish like biryani is eaten till your heart is content, but keeping the calories in mind will only do you good. However, since every biryani preparation is different from the other, the calories might vary. For example, a store-bought chicken biryani might contain more calories than a homemade healthy one. Egg biryani might differ in calories from mutton biryani. The rice used in biryani will also make a difference in calories.

Mostly the meat is what we consider when we calculate the calories in biryani. So, let us consider chicken biryani with boneless chicken. Two hundred grams of boneless chicken biryani contain about 290-300 calories. Its nutritional facts are;

Fat 9.4 grams
Saturated fat 1.7 grams
Trans fat 0.1 grams
Sodium 419 mg
Cholesterol 49 mg
Carbs 31 grams
Dietary fiber 1.4 grams
Sugar 3.4 grams
Potassium 462 mg
Protein 20 grams

290-300 calories are not a lot when it comes down to it. However, if you’re concerned about it, you can exercise for ten/twenty minutes or take a walk. Just remember to eat biryani while keeping in mind your portion control. Too much of anything is bad for you, as they say.

So, now let’s get into the recipes of biryani which you can easily make at home! Let’s check them out!
