High Protein Chicken Recipes

1.5 pounds of chicken
2 Tbsp curry powder or garam masala
1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger
2 Tbsp melted butter
Salt and pepper
Chopped chilies
1 lemon
Toasted coconut

1. Start with 1.5 pounds of boneless chicken breast or thighs.

2. Combine the ingredients for Indian flavor—2 Tbsp curry powder or garam masala, 1 Tbsp grated fresh ginger, 2 Tbsp melted butter, salt and pepper—and rub or smear it all over your protein. Let it marinate if you have time.

3. Light up the grill, heat the broiler, or fire up a cast-iron skillet and cook the chicken on both sides until it's done the way you like it. Use a small, sharp knife to take a peek inside if you're not sure.

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees, preferably with a baking stone inside. Stretch out your ball of pizza dough and lay it out on a pizza peel or baking sheet that’s been generously dusted with cornmeal. Use a pastry brush (or just dab it with your fingers) to lightly coat just the outer edge of the pizza crust with olive oil.

Spread a thin layer of the pizza sauce over the dough. Add the cheese, then the hamburger and the mushrooms and sauteed onions. Top with the bacon.

Bake for about 8-10 minutes, until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and lightly browned.

Enjoy your Pizza and kindly leave comments if you like the recipe.
