Can We Eat Chicken and Paneer Together? (Expert Answer)

Short Answer: It is generally safe to eat chicken and paneer together or one after another. Because, there is no scientific proof that they are incompatible foods.

Chicken and paneer both are healthy foods.

Chicken contains protein, iron, zinc, and vitamin B12, and paneer contains protein, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin A.

According to Ayurveda, chicken and paneer are incompatible foods that should not be eaten together or one after another.

Ayurveda believes that different foods have different qualities and energies that affect the body and mind.

Eating incompatible foods can cause indigestion, gas, bloating, acidity, allergies, and diseases.

But according to science, there is no conclusive evidence that chicken and paneer are harmful when eaten together.

Science does not support the concept of food incompatibility based on Ayurvedic principles.

However, science does acknowledge that some people may have food intolerances or allergies that can cause adverse reactions to certain foods or combinations.

As a nutritionist, my advice is to try first. If after eating chicken and paneer together you experience any discomfort, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash, then stop combining them.

And if you can tolerate them, then continue.

However, you should be mindful of the quality and quantity of chicken and paneer you consume.

Because, too much of either can lead to excess calories, fat, cholesterol, and sodium, which can increase the risk of obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and kidney problems.

Whether you eat them together or not, you should always choose fresh, organic, and hormone-free chicken and paneer.

Because, these are more nutritious, safe, and ethical than processed, frozen, or factory-farmed products.

You can store chicken and paneer in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, or in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Do not store them at room temperature or in direct sunlight, as this can cause spoilage and bacterial growth.

Finally, remember, chicken and paneer are good sources of protein that can support your muscle growth, bone health, and immune system.

However, they should be eaten in moderation and balanced with other foods, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, to ensure a varied and healthy diet.
