How to prepare delicious chicken breast.

 

Hello, fitness people. You are probably already tired of eating tasteless, plain, cooked chicken. If so, my tender and juicy chicken breast recipe is for you. It's perfect hot, as a meal or cold, to put on your sandwich.



 
I don't know about you, but I consume a large amount of chicken breasts. Because of that, I buy a large amount at once to save value. My choice would be Simple class A Chicken breast from Lidl. It is 1kg. You may say that you could just buy non frozen chicken at the butcher's but there is no point, you will freeze a large portion of it anyway. Enough words, it is time to tell you how to cook a tasty, tender and juicy chicken breast that I'm sure you will love!
Take the frozen chicken breasts out of the fridge and leave for the night to defreeze.
I usually cook the next day.
The preparation doesn't take a lot of time so you can preheat the oven straight away to 180°C or 350°F.
Take each piece of chicken from the bag, rinse it under tap, cut in half and place into a cooking pot. When everything is ready, hold the chicken in place with your hand and drain the excess water. 
Season with 1/2 a teaspoon of salt and, other seasonings depending on taste.
I chose Fajita seasoning from Lidl. This is guaranteed to make a great result.



Mix everything with your hands so that every single piece is soaked. Now move every chicken breast into a tray, one beside the other, and season again with Fajita seasoning or any othe seasoning of your choice. Cover the top with aluminium foil making sure that the edges are folded as securely as possible. Since our oven is already preheated, place the tray into the oven and set the timer to 30 minutes. If you haven't already noticed, we didn't use even a single drop of oil. While the chicken is cooking, you could do something, for example, wash the dishes that you used to prepare. :)
After the 30 minutes have passed, remove the tray from the oven. Don't forget that it will be hot. That's it! Our tender and juicy chicken is cooked. It is great hot, as well as cold. 
Look at how much juice it produced. By the way, if you keep the chicken in the fridge, the juice will turn into a jelly like consistency.



If I don't use it all at once, I keep the chicken in the fridge, in the original tray that I used to cook it in.
