How to cook diet chicken in the oven

You will need:

• chicken fillet
• orange juice (lemon)
• vegetables and herbs to taste

Preparation:

1. Simply rub the chicken breast with any seasonings and place it in a baking sleeve. You can sprinkle lemon juice on top, and immediately add a variety of vegetables to the sleeve. All this will be baked for a very short time, literally 25 minutes, without oil, only in the juice from the meat (only again, you will have to exclude some types of vegetables from your diet if you adhere to a therapeutic diet).
2. It turns out both meat and side dish at once. You can add dried fruits and fresh fruits. The original seasoning must be used, not a mixture. The mixtures in the bags contain a lot of salt, so you should discard it in favor of natural fresh herbs, or, as a last resort, purchase dried herbs on the market. Baked chicken will be very tasty without the addition of harmful salt and your favorite packaged seasonings.
3. Try to rub the chicken with garlic, add Provençal herbs, thyme and rosemary and it’s unlikely that anyone will notice the lack of salt. In addition, in the absence of medical contraindications, spices will be a useful addition. They accelerate the secretion of gastric juice, promote accelerated metabolism and increase the digestibility of the product. If you don’t have a baking sleeve, baking foil can perfectly replace it (just cover a deep baking sheet tightly with it and the meat will turn out very tender and juicy).
4. Very popular dietary chicken breast recipe steamed. To make the dish appetizing, it is better to marinate the meat. The marinade should not contain vinegar or mayonnaise. If your diet is aimed at losing weight, use red wine diluted with water as a marinade. You don't even need additional spices. If the diet is therapeutic, opt for marinating in onions: pieces of breast and a large amount of onions, cut into rings, are placed in a pan.
5. Fried chicken breast, even with the use of olive oil and the absence of skin, is not considered dietary, although it is very tasty. You can get a crispy crust even when baking. Read more:

Meat is a product of high nutritional value. It contains a large amount of animal protein, fats, good cholesterol, as well as vitamins, among which vitamin B12 is worth noting. This compound is found only in meat.

In order to lose weight, you should give preference to lean meats. This meat does not contain excess fat and at the same time retains all the benefits of this product. Dietary meat includes chicken. The leanest part of a chicken carcass is the breast. This part consists of meat and practically no fat is deposited on it. To reduce the calorie content of a dish prepared from chicken breast, it is necessary to remove the skin before cooking. This removes most of the fat. Let's look at a few recipes on how to cook dietary chicken breast:

To prepare this dish you need to process the meat into minced meat. Pepper and salt should be added to the minced meat to taste. Everything is thoroughly mixed and one egg is added to the mixture. Everything is mixed again until smooth.

The minced meat is divided into parts, after which cutlets are formed. You can roll the pieces in flour or breadcrumbs.

The cutlets can be prepared by frying in a pan, with little or no oil. To reduce calorie content, you can cook the cutlets in the oven or steam them. Before this, the cutlets should be slightly fried in a frying pan.

Baking breast in the oven in foil

In order for dietary chicken breast in the oven to turn out tasty and juicy when baked, the meat should be marinated beforehand. The simplest marinades in this case are soy sauce and a mixture of sour cream and spices. You can use any spices that are combined with chicken meat. For children, it is preferable to use the sour cream version of the marinade.

Remove the skin and fat from the breast, rinse under running water and dry a little with napkins. The meat must be coated with the pre-prepared marinade, placed in a deep bowl and covered with a lid or plate to prevent it from getting too dry. The chicken breast should be marinated for thirty or forty minutes. After this time, the meat should be wrapped in foil. In this case, you need to leave a small hole for steam to escape.

The prepared meat is sent to the oven for forty-five minutes, after which the dish is ready.

Cooking chicken in a slow cooker

Cooking chicken breast in a slow cooker is in many ways similar to cooking this meat in the oven. To begin with, the chicken is marinated for half an hour. Then excess marinade is removed from the breast and it is wrapped in foil. Also, as in the previous case, it is necessary to leave a hole so that steam can escape. Next, a small amount of water is poured into the multicooker bowl, and the meat wrapped in foil is placed there. The multicooker is programmed for forty-five minutes, during which the dietary chicken breast in the multicooker is brought to full readiness.

Diet soup

While the meat is cooking, peel and chop the potatoes. Peel and grate the carrots. Peel the onion and finely chop. Cauliflower is disassembled into inflorescences.

When the meat is almost ready, cabbage and potatoes are added to the pan. After that, chopped and seeded sweet peppers are sent there. Then grated carrots are added to the soup being prepared.

Next, you need to grease a small amount of vegetable oil or cover a baking sheet with parchment. Place the mixture on a baking sheet, spreading it evenly. After this, the baking sheet goes into the oven for twenty minutes. After this time, the half-finished pie is removed from the oven and a layer of chopped chicken is placed on top of it, which is sprinkled with grated cheese. Then the baking sheet is sent back to the oven, where it remains until the cheese is completely melted

To prepare a dish of kefir and chicken breast, you need to take the breast, low-fat kefir, pepper, garlic, herbs and salt to taste. First you need to prepare the breast. It should be washed, peeled and cut into small pieces. Pieces of chicken fillet should be rubbed with a mixture of pepper and salt and placed in a deep bowl, then poured with low-fat kefir. The chicken should marinate for fifteen minutes.

After this, you need to transfer the chicken to a saucepan and simmer until there is almost no meat broth left and the meat itself is cooked. A couple of minutes before turning off, you need to add a small amount of grated garlic, as well as finely chopped herbs, to the dish being prepared. When the saucepan is removed from the heat, you need to close the lid tightly and leave the dish to sit for the next fifteen minutes, after which the diet chicken breast in kefir is ready for use.

Diet chicken breast broth

Chicken broth is a source of microelements, protein and vitamins. It is often used as a drink. Despite the simplicity of this dish, there are many dietary recipes using chicken breast in various broths.

The easiest way is to rinse the chicken breast under running water. Remove skin. The meat should be placed in a pan and filled with water; after the water has boiled, you need to drain and add water again. This will remove any coagulated blood and fat that is still contained in the breast. Thus, the result is a dish rich in protein and amino acids. Some people drink warm broth without additives. Sometimes salt and spices are added to the broth.

Recipes will only help you prepare poultry dishes correctly if you strictly follow all the steps in the instructions. The protein recipes proposed in this material can be used at home to normalize digestion. Dietary chicken dishes allow you to reduce the amount of fat in your daily diet and increase the percentage of protein. The proposed recipes for protein dishes are included in many therapeutic diets and allow you to quickly restore the body’s strength.

The main benefit of chicken meat is the large amount of animal protein (more than 22%), which is necessary for our body. Other poultry meats (turkey, goose or duck) are slightly behind in terms of animal protein content, and “red” meat is completely inferior to chicken in this parameter.
