My favorite meat of all is chicken, I just love the color the taste and the smell of it.
I try to cook and eat different kinds of meat, but chicken is my favorite.
This recipe is one of my oldest recipes that I just don’t get bored of doing. It was the start of many other modifications I tried in order to create endless ways for me to cook this boring chicken breast that we all avoid to eat because it is too dry but we all know that this is the healthiest part of chicken.
Now we all have been there, we ate chicken breast for months following some kind of diet given by a dietitian or by a friend or by the internet. We ate that lame chicken breast with some salad for days!
But this recipe will make you think twice before calling that poor chicken breast lame again.
It is moist, cheesy and full of flavor, that you won’t even believe this is the same chicken breast you have been eating for years!
It is a perfect recipe for lunch, have it with some baked potato wedges and a perfect high protein dinner after your workout or exercise with some salad. It looks so good that it will blow your friends’ minds when you cook it for a dinner or movie night or family gathering…
Try it! And there are more recipes similar to this one that will change your perception of chicken breast forever!
