The Herb Chicken Breast is one of those dishes that everyone loves, both adults and children. Light yet flavorful. Also try the chicken breast with milk and ham and the chicken breast pizzaiola, two simple and tasty recipes.
What I propose today is a perfect main course for those who love to eat healthy without sacrificing taste and without guilt! It easily adapts to a quick weekday lunch or a well-prepared dinner without stress. The secret of the herb chicken breast lies in the spices you choose: rosemary, parsley, sage, oregano, thyme, or bay leaf. A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a few drops of lemon, or a pinch of garlic complete the mix, transforming a simple ingredient into a dish full of character. On my blog, you will find countless recipes with chicken; my favorites are chicken strips with cherry tomatoes and onions and citrus chicken strips.
From a nutritional standpoint, chicken breast is an excellent source of protein, ideal for those following a balanced diet and for athletes. The aromatic herbs, besides providing natural flavor, allow you to reduce the use of salt and add benefits thanks to their antioxidant and digestive properties.
The cooking method can vary according to taste; I prefer in the pan for a quick and juicy version, grilled for a more defined result, or in the oven for a uniform and light preparation. In any case, it’s important not to overcook the chicken, to avoid it becoming too dry. You can accompany the chicken breast with tasty sides like baked au gratin carrots or delicious au gratin onions
