Chicken fillet with herb butter and creamy spinach
Strictly protein-rich Phase 1 dish: tender chicken fillet with creamy spinach and almost no carbohydrates.
Chicken fillet with herb butter and creamy spinach is a quick pan dinner that's on the table in twenty minutes. The spiced butter seeps into the meat and keeps the chicken fillet beautifully juicy, whilst the spinach with a splash of whipping cream becomes a velvety, creamy base. A simple dish that still feels refined.
For Phase 1 of the protein diet, this is an ideal choice. The lean chicken fillet delivers over forty grams of protein per serving, which supports muscle building and keeps hunger at bay for hours. With just a few grams of carbohydrates, this dish stays strictly protein-rich, and the combination of protein and healthy fats from the butter provides a pleasant, lasting fullness without leaving you feeling heavy.
Lovely with a fresh salad of cucumber and radish, or with a few grilled mushrooms on the side. A pinch of grated nutmeg over the spinach adds just a touch more warmth to the flavour.
