Diet Discussion: How to make delicious chicken breasts during fat loss

Spring is here, and it’s the peak season for everyone to keep fit and lose weight.

There is a saying in the fitness industry that "30% training, 70% eating" means that fitness and weight loss require not only scientific exercise training, but also a reasonable diet, so that fat loss and fitness can be achieved with half the effort. Chicken breast is highly praised among fat loss recipes. Chicken breast is famous for its low fat and high protein, making it the first choice for many fitness experts.

But at the same time, due to the low fat content and tight texture of chicken breast, not only is it not easy to taste, but the lean meat is also easy to burn when eaten. Many people eat it while enduring the unpalatable taste. Rise. So today’s recipe is how to make healthy and delicious chicken breasts.

There are two problems we need to solve. One is that chicken breasts are not easy to taste, and the other is that lean meat is easy to burn.

I will introduce two methods below.

Cook chicken breasts at low temperature:

Marinate the chicken breasts with cooking wine and salt one night in advance, cover them with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator. It is best to rub the salt with your hands. This solves the problem of odor.

For formal cooking, use a pot with better heat retention and a pot of cold water. Pots with better heat retention include Chinese casseroles, ceramic pots, or Western-style cast iron pots.

Put the marinated chicken breasts into a pot under cold water, cover with a lid and bring to a boil over high heat. Once the water boils, turn off the heat. Seal the lid of the pot and scald the chicken with the remaining heat of the water. This process will take about an hour to an hour and a half.

It’s cooked this way. Low-temperature cooking is a popular method in the world. It not only retains nutrients but also makes the meat tender. It is a novel and healthy method.

At this time, take out the chicken, let it cool for a while, and then tear the chicken into thin strips with your hands, as thin as possible.

Use a stone mortar to pound the garlic into minced garlic and place it on the torn chicken. If you like it spicy, you can pour some chili oil, or pour some vinegar and soy sauce according to your personal taste.

The chicken breast cooked at low temperature has a tender texture, and the seasoning of the chicken after tearing it apart is also easy to absorb. Garlic can warm the body, strengthen the stomach, digest food and regulate qi, detoxify and kill insects. It is definitely the best choice for fitness and fat loss.

The following is a more Western-style method: pan-roasted chicken breast

Similarly, we marinate it one night in advance. This time we choose rosemary shards and black pepper, and use our hands to marinate it. Apply evenly. Seal and marinate overnight in the refrigerator.

Pour some olive oil into the frying pan. After the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts. The meat will stick when it is first removed from the pan. Do not turn it over at this time. Wait for about ten minutes. It will naturally stop sticking in about seconds. Fry both sides for about 30 seconds.

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees for 5 minutes in advance. Place the fried chicken breasts on the baking sheet and pour the olive oil in the pan. If you have an enameled cast iron pot, you can just put the pot in the oven. Bake at 170 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

Take out the grilled chicken breasts and slice them, pour some lemon juice, and sprinkle some fine salt, and you are done~
