Preparation:

1.) Boil a pot of water. Cook the potato until it’s soft (Important: do not get rid of the cooking water!).
–
2.) While the potato is cooking, boil a second pot with water. Blanch the peas and carrots for 3 minutes. Drain immediately and add a pinch of salt.
–
3.) When the potato is soft, mash it. Add 5 tablespoons of the cooking water, mash into a smooth mash and only then season with a little salt.
–
4.) Making the Chicken Breast (with minimal oil): Take one tablespoon of the potato’s cooking water (instead of oil!) and mix it with the spices. Season the fillet. Preheat a pan with a small spray of cooking oil spray. Fry the fillet until it is done. Flip it over, give it another tiny spray of oil, and continue frying
until the chicken breast is cooked through on all sides.

Good to Know… Calorie Calculations:
Calorie Calculations: A potato weighing 120 grams (after peeling and cooking) reduces to about 100 grams. The recommended lunch portion for one person is typically 150 grams, but 100 grams was enough for me since I made other side dishes.
–
Fillet Upgrade: If you have time, it’s highly recommended to marinate the chicken breast for about 20 minutes before frying.
–
Calorie Count: The recipe as described (with a 100-gram fillet) is approximately 185 calories. If you add more fillet, the total reaches about 277.5 calories.

Tips for a Complete Meal: You can, and should, prepare a large vegetable salad! The calories are less significant, and it greatly helps with satiety.
–
Tips: You can, and should, make a large amount of vegetable salad! The calories are less of a
concern, and having it ready really helps you feel full. Drink a glass of water before your meal. Drink water, even if it feels a little difficult — it’s especially healthy when dieting.
–
Bottom Line: The total meal is 350 calories! The amount of oil used in the entire meal is minimal — only 6 calories, which is practically nothing.
