Recipe for chicken breast that is not bland or just plain chicken that turns off many people when it comes to healthy eating. Guaranteed to be one of your favourite recipes, both for the indulgent and for health purposes.
Chicken Breast:
Most stereotypical example of a bodybuilding meal, other eggs, are chicken breasts. The most common sight on every full day of eating is a guy or a girl unenthusiastically preparing them without anything on them to make them more delicious. You can do this as well, if you are boredom proof and want to be absolutely sure that you are not consuming any; and I mean any fat or anything other than pure protein.
Chicken is also a good source of vitamin B, vitamin D, calcium, iron, zinc, and trace amounts of vitamin A and vitamin C. And not spicing things up can serve you as long as you want. There is also a caveat in this approach that we will show you. You will get some carbs in there, that is an undeniable fact. Fact is that you also need energy for any remotely strenuous training. That is where the added ingredients make sense.
Winner Winner Chicken Dinner
Chicken is a great source of lean protein. If you are wondering by any chance why people eat it, we will quickly and nonsensically explain why. Imagine that you think to yourself, why shouldn’t I eat something with excess fat, or something with more calories than you bargained for. There is absolutely no sin in that. Problem is in adding those meals in any succession over the course of time. Add that with the way our bodies are practically perfect for storing fat, it is no wonder it is so easy to get fat.
How to approach any calorically dense meal?
You can eat a lot. A lot of times. But not always. There is the catch. If you do something like progressive overload and the weights are getting substantially heavy, you will have to get really strong before you can lift those without any added caloric boost. Take any HIIT workout that you do overtime.
You will see that you are getting hungrier because you are using more energy and even more energy is required for future fitness.
Value of food common sense
Food should always serve you to the fullest extent when training. Dieting into low digit body fat percentages is good if you can genetically withstand those numbers. If you can’t, you are in the wrong race. It is really hard to beat genetics in this sense. The same thing matters for someone who is naturally low weight; a runner’s physique, let’s say. That person can put all the effort in the world to get really heavy. Which potentially might work, but will hinder him in terms of his health and anthropometric position of his joints and ligaments.
Common sense
Because of situations and life factors like these, we have to be rational. Best way to do that in regards to fitness is to utilize foods. Which practically means that you can eat a lot of clean foods, but you shouldn’t disregard carbs or protein in it because some dietician told you that. We are all different beings as far as energy expenditures are concerned. So let us act normally and stop looking for a scapegoat. Our ancestors worked low intensity for their whole lives. They didn’t need any advice on food, because they were burning a lot of it anyhow. You do that with your training, and you are good to go. We will be good to go with the recipe, so let’s go.
Preparation – Chicken Breast
With 10 minutes to make, you don’t have any excuse not to dedicate those 10 minutes for this highly nutritious meal. You will need:
- 500 g of chicken breast; boneless
- Skillet
- Flour
- Eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
Cut the chicken breast into thin pieces. You can season the cutting board with salt and pepper (I know it sounds weird, but saves even more time), and just roll the chicken in it.
Put eggs in one bowl, flour in another. Dip the chicken first in the flour, then eggs. Use one piece at a time.
Add olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for approximately 3 minutes. Gold is the desired color of your delicacy for this one.
Tips and tricks
Cook in proportion to your eating habits. This is a great meal for a sandwich, so use infamous ingredients like mayonaise if you are feeling like it.
Cheese is a really good addition to the sandwich variant. It can be added in the mixture when you prepare eggs and flour. Dip it in after the eggs and flour.
