According to experts, chicken is a highly nutritious meat, offering higher energy value than red meat. Chicken is an excellent source of protein, which is essential for cell structure and contributes to healthy weight, height, and brain development. Additionally, chicken is leaner than other meats and contains a good amount of omega 3, making it a healthier choice.
Chicken is rich in vitamins A, E, C, and B-complex, including B1, B2, and PP. It also provides minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron, making it a nutrient-dense food that supports overall health and helps fight cancer.
Chicken is versatile and can be prepared in numerous delicious ways. Dan Viet introduces a unique and tasty recipe for pulled chicken sandwiches:
Ingredients:
– Chicken breast: 1 kg
– Bread rolls/buns
– Onion
– Dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, seasoning powder
– Ground pepper
– Onion
– Garlic
– Shallots
– Chili sauce (optional)
Preparation:
Cooking the chicken:
– Rinse the chicken breast with skin in a dilute salt water solution, then wash it again in clean water.
– Cut the onion into thin, wedge-shaped slices.
– Boil water in a pot and add the chicken, along with crushed ginger, salt, and scallion. Once the water starts boiling, cook the chicken for about 5 minutes. Overcooking the chicken will make it dry.
– Remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool down. Once cooled, shred the chicken into small pieces, and use scissors to cut the skin into thin strips.
– Marinate the chicken for 30 minutes with 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, 1 tablespoon of chili oil, 1 tablespoon of chopped scallions, and 1 tablespoon of fried garlic.
– After marinating, it’s time to stir-fry. Heat a pan and sauté the shallots until fragrant. Add the chicken and stir-fry for about 3 minutes. Then, add the onions and continue cooking until the ingredients are just cooked through. You can adjust the taste by adding a little more sugar and pepper if needed.
