Chicken breast is best when it is soft, juicy, and easy to digest. Cooking chicken breast in butter does not change the protein itself, but it can help the body digest it and use it more effectively.

In nature, protein usually comes with fat. Many whole foods, such as eggs, fish, and meat, contain both protein and fat. Skinless chicken breast is very lean because most of its natural fat has been removed. Adding butter while cooking helps replace some of that missing fat and brings the meal closer to how protein is usually eaten.

Butter also helps prevent the chicken from drying out, making it easier to chew and digest. The fat in butter helps the body release bile and digestive enzymes. This can slow digestion slightly and make it easier on the stomach for some people.

Butter contains saturated fat and natural cholesterol, which the body needs to make hormones like testosterone and to keep cell membranes healthy. All of this helps create a better environment for the body to use the protein it eats.

Ingredients:

• • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter (grass-fed preferred)

Method

1. 1. Pound the chicken breasts with a meat mallet or rolling pin to tenderize and ensure uniform thickness.
   2. Season both sides with salt and pepper and let rest for about 15 minutes.
   3. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
   4. Once the pan is hot, add the butter. When melted, add the chicken breasts.
   5. Cook for about 4 minutes per side until golden.
   6. Flip the chicken, lower the heat, cover, and cook for an additional 4 minutes until fully cooked and juicy.

Serves: 4

Recommendation:
Serve with 2–3 portions of slow carbohydrates, such as broccoli, green beans, or Brussels sprouts.

Key Takeaway

This meal delivers high-quality, highly bioavailable protein in a form that is easier to digest, more satisfying, and supportive of hormone and metabolic health, without unnecessary processing or complexity
