Tips to improve your chicken breast with vegetables

As we discussed earlier,  this dish is very healthy thanks to the chicken’s protein intake and the large amount of green vegetables. They are tasty and packed with vitamins and folic acid. They also have a delicious aroma that invites and seduces.

The trick to making this dish tastier is to use very tender chicken breasts. To make them look like this, you should soak them in milk and a little lemon before cooking them. This way, the meat will be much juicier (remember that chicken meat tends to be dry).

Don’t worry if you don’t have any of the vegetables mentioned; you can improvise with the ones you have at home after you have mastered the steps. If you don’t have shallots, you can cut off the whitest part of a leek and mix it with a clove of garlic. However, we suggest that you keep the pepper, as it is the key ingredient in the recipe.
