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 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
½ tsp 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
