Chicken Breast

Health benefits of Baked Stir Fry

Skinless chicken breast, often heralded for its lean nutritional profile, is undeniably a powerhouse when it comes to protein content. With an impressive 21 grams of protein packed into every 100 grams of the breast, it emerges as a preferred choice for those conscious about their protein intake. Delving deeper into the nutritional matrix of chicken, one can't overlook the copious amounts of vitamin B6 it houses. This particular vitamin plays an indispensable role in our body, especially when discussing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) management.

For individuals grappling with PCOS, the internal hormonal turbulence can be overwhelming, often leading to a spike in testosterone and androgen levels. This is where vitamin B6 comes into the spotlight. Acting as a balancer, vitamin B6 diligently works behind the scenes to keep these hormones in check, ensuring they don't surge beyond desirable levels. It is this equilibrium that becomes paramount for those earnestly looking to curtail the excessive flow of testosterone and androgen. In the broader spectrum of PCOS management, incorporating foods rich in vitamin B6, like chicken breast, can be a strategic move, providing both nutritional sustenance and hormonal balance.

Ingredients

1 large chicken breast
2 medium zucchinis
3 small yellow squash
6 oz bella mushrooms
4 oz thin wheat spaghetti, dry
1/4 cup fat free Italian dressing
1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions

1. Slice thin the chicken, zucchini, squash and mushrooms (the thinner you slice it the quicker it will cook).

2. Combine ingredients in a metal or glass pan large enough to hold them and allow for some stirring. Add Italian dressing and soy sauce. If the pan is rather large and the sauce isn't at least 1" deep you can add water as needed. Too much juice/water will make this dish soggy.

3. Bake at to 300 °F (205 °C) for about 45 minutes. At 45 minutes stir the ingredients around and add the noodles in a way that the remaining juice will reach them. If there is not enough juice you can add water as needed.

4. Once the noodles are done, remove and serve.

5. Note: You can add all kinds of vegetables to this dish like carrots, snow peas, water chestnuts etc. You can make it without the noodles for less calories and carbs however using the noodles eliminates the need for a side dish. You can change the meat to your favorite, cooking time should stay the same.
