Baek Ji-yeon shares chicken breast brunch recipe

Broadcaster Baek Ji-yeon shared a brunch recipe made as a health meal on her YouTube channel, according to Newsis. While preparing chicken breast, Baek said, 'Chicken breast should not be boiled; it should be steamed.'

Baek also explained how she handles the chicken breast, saying that soaking it in milk removes the odor and softens the texture, according to Newsis. The report said she then shredded the chicken breast along the grain and added fresh lemon juice.

According to Newsis, the salad included arugula, thinly sliced Korean melon and apple. The dressing was made by mixing whole-grain mustard and olive oil with juice squeezed from Korean melon seeds and flesh, and the dish was served with whole-wheat bread grilled in olive oil.

Newsis described chicken breast as a high-protein, low-fat food. The report said protein is a main nutrient that forms muscle and helps with protein intake after middle age, when muscle mass begins to decline.

According to Newsis, eating protein in the morning helps keep fullness for longer. The report said meals centered on bread or fruit have a relatively higher possibility of hunger returning sooner.

Newsis said meat marinated in milk has reduced odor and a softer texture. The report said lemon juice can reduce odor and add a fresh flavor, while the whole-wheat bread served with the dish adds carbohydrates, the main energy source used by the brain and muscles.
