FitAzi Tip
Chicken breast is the foundation of FitAzi plans for weight loss and muscle gain - maximum protein, minimum fat. Marinate chicken breast for 30 minutes in yogurt, garlic, and lemon before cooking for a juicier and more tender texture. Prepare 500g of chicken breast in the oven on Sunday and use it in varied meals throughout the week for efficient meal prep.
