>what cuisine
Limiting yourself to just one culture is handicapping if you want to maintain high protein diet without it getting boring and using affordable ingredients. Best bang for the buck and effort would probably be modern American cuisine, DASH diet, or "Mediterranean" diet because they are grab bags of many cuisines and the latter two are designed to be healthy and tasty.
Ideally, you should try to learn from all of cuisines and keep what you like but prune out what you don't. You can avoid chicken being boring by using different prep methods (baking, grilling, pan-frying, making pulled chicken) different spices or condiments, and using it in different dishes.
For example, with pulled or shredded chicken you can:
>season it with taco spice mix, eat with beans, pico do galo, guacamole, and some leafy greens for "mexican" variation
>season it with smoked paprika or mix with barbecue sauce, put between whole grain toast with coleslaw or shredded romaine lettuce, and another vegetable of choice for a healthy, high protein sandwich
>use with potatoes and vegetables
>stuff it into a tortilla/wrap/
>use as a filling for an omelette
>mix into a salad
>mix into a stir fry
>use with pasta and tomato or pesto sauce
And there are probably more options I did not think of. There's enough variety in flavors and styles of dishes to keep checken from getting boring.
If you are avoiding carbs and do not want to tailor dishes at all, it's probably best to avoid most Asian cuisines as their dishes often include heaps of rice. Italians are over reliant on pasta. You could also always easily tone down carbs in both and swap to brown rice or whole grain\lentil based pastas for more protein, fiber, and other nutrients. Straight up avoiding cuisines is a lazy approach.
And you should not be too afraid of carbs. They provide easily accessible energy and I used to hit long plateaus when I was trying to cut down on them. You will be fine if you stick to whole grains and not overly processed ones and do not overdo them. Especially if you are doing cardio too, and you should so you do not end up with heart issues later in life. Swapping chicken for something else from time to time is good to, so you do not develop nutrient deficiencies. Sardines and turkey aren't exactly super expensive either.
