What is Bone Broth Collagen?

Bone broth collagen combines the benefits of traditional bone broth with collagen peptides, providing support for skin, joints, gut health, and recovery. I used Vitauthority Chicken Noodle Bone Broth Collagen, which delivers 13g of collagen and 16g of protein per scoop.

Unlike powders that require smoothies or protein shakes, this one blends seamlessly into savory recipes like soups, sauces, and skillet meals - no weird taste, no clumps, just extra nutrition in your dinner.

Here's what you'll need:

Protein & Veggies:

• 1.25 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or breast), diced

• 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)

• 1 cup chopped bell peppers (red + yellow work great)

• ½ cup red onion, chopped

Flavor Base:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

• ½ teaspoon chili powder

• Salt & pepper, to taste

Sauce:

• ⅔ cup BBQ sauce (your favorite brand)

• ¼ cup water or low-sodium chicken broth

• 1 scoop Vitauthority Chicken Noodle Bone Broth Collagen

Optional Garnish:

• Chopped parsley or green onion

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken

In a mixing bowl, toss diced chicken with garlic powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes to absorb the flavor.

2. Sear the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until browned and mostly cooked through. Stir occasionally for even browning.

3. Add the Veggies

Add corn, bell peppers, and red onion. Sauté everything together for 4-5 minutes until the veggies are tender and slightly caramelized.

4. Mix the Sauce + Collagen

In a small bowl, whisk together BBQ sauce, water, and the scoop of bone broth collagen. Pour into the skillet and toss everything to coat.

5. Simmer Uncovered

Reduce heat to medium-low. Let the skillet simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy.

6. Serve & Enjoy

Top with chopped parsley or green onion if you like. Serve hot over rice, sweet potatoes, or just dig in with a fork.

Health Benefits of Collagen

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body, supporting:

• Joint health & recovery

• Skin elasticity and hydration

• Gut lining and digestion

• Hair and nail strength

By adding a scoop of bone broth collagen to your meals, you're giving your body building blocks for strength and repair - without changing your diet or routine.

Tips & Variations

• Spicy option: Add a dash of cayenne or hot sauce to the BBQ mix

• Vegetarian swap: Use chickpeas or tofu + a plant-based BBQ sauce (skip collagen if needed)

• Add carbs: Serve over rice, quinoa, or roasted sweet potatoes

• Meal prep: Stores well in the fridge up to 4 days
