Grilled breasts are not the most useful way to cook meat, but sometimes I want to pamper myself and their loved ones, at the same time, without fear of gaining extra pounds.
Grilled can be cooked duck, chicken or turkey breast.
Grilled breast - the basic principles of cooking
Marinate the meat before cooking.
Marinade prepared on the basis of soy sauce, dairy products, mayonnaise or sour cream. Honey, greens, spices, lemon and spicy herbs are added to it. Marinade is mixed and dipped in meat. Marinated meat should be at least half an hour.
