Very often I cook dishes with chicken fillet, because this meat is not only delicious, but also healthy. What is useful for white chicken meat? The composition of chicken breast is rich in a large amount of vitamins. For example, a full complex of B vitamins is an indispensable component of white meat, and it is also necessary for any body to maintain a normal metabolism. Vitamins B9 and B12 are especially important in the composition of chicken breast. These are very "feminine" vitamins that contribute to the normal development of the fetus during pregnancy and the maintenance of the mother's well—being. It is not surprising that both breast and chicken broth are recommended by all doctors as one to be consumed regularly during pregnancy and lactation. In addition to B vitamins, the composition of white chicken meat contains vitamins PP, A, H, F, magnesium, zinc, iron, various enzymes. Chicken breast, the benefit of which is due to these substances, is that it helps to normalize blood circulation, improve the appearance of skin and hair, strengthen the nervous system and skeleton. We can say that chicken breast, the composition of which contains so many useful elements, is the most dietary chicken meat. At the same time, she has very few disadvantages.

Chicken can be replaced with turkey or any other type of meat at your request. But keep in mind that in this case, the cooking time and calorie content of the dish will change.

When adding soy sauce to a dish, it is worth considering that it has a rather salty taste. Reduce the total amount of salt, otherwise you risk over-salting.

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
