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.
