Tips
Tenderizing chicken improves texture and ensures even cooking.
Using parchment paper on a sheet pan means no dishes afterwards.
Consider splitting into two meals for 75g protein per meal.
Pair with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or pasta to round out the dish.
Soaking chicken in a brine (water with sea salt) for 20 minutes to 1 hour, then rinsing, can improve texture and flavor.
Parchment paper should be used when broiling to avoid fire hazard.
