Rosco's Baked Chicken

Chicken has become a staple in my diet second only to oats. Packed full of protein with no fat or sugar. But it can get boring and turn out all dry especially with my limited cooking skills.

A while back my friend Ross showed me how to bake it and still keep it yummy and juicy.

Take your chicken breast and season it with pepper or my favourite lemon pepper.




Place the chicken in tin foil wrapping it into a little parcel leaving about and inch and a half gap between the chicken and the top of the parcel. This is where the steam will collect and keep the chicken nice and moist as it half bakes/half steams.

Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 200 or until the juices run clear.

Waaaalaaaa!




I really like it with this bulgar wheat. It's pretty low in fat and sugar for packaged food.




One chicken breast with a quarter of the pack of bulgar wheat and green vegetables is only about 300 calories - 40g of protein, 25g of carbs, 4g of fat and 1g of sugar.

The tin foil parcels work really well for fish too, just adjust your cooking time to about 20 minutes.

Love
