At the Ebikon gym, it’s not just about targeted muscle building—we also want to help you see fitness as a complete concept. Alongside workouts and enough sleep, what you eat is one of the factors that can influence your fitness. For this important point, we’ve found a recipe that’s not only delicious, but can do much more. Because this salad gives your body everything it needs. The chicken breast provides high-quality protein, the salad adds fibre, and the strawberries contain important minerals and vitamins.
What makes up a meal
We know that only a well-nourished body can perform at its best. Even if you just want to get a little fitter with us at the Ebikon gym, your diet can help you reach your goal even faster. Protein is always essential for building muscle. Even though men and women differ in protein metabolism, protein is important for all athletes. It helps both men and women build muscle faster. That way, you support your training at Gym Ebikon and see results sooner. That’s why we chose a recipe where chicken breast plays a central role. It ensures your body gets enough protein. But that’s only the tip of the fitness iceberg—this salad has hidden qualities too.
Small things with a big impact
Vitamins play a role, as do micronutrients. These are mostly found in spices. Pepper doesn’t just make food tastier—it also plays an important role in metabolism. The piperine it contains activates fat metabolism and is even said to slow the growth of fat cells. So those small black grains can be a big help when you’re working on your fitness at Gym Ebikon. Strawberries contain lots of vitamin C, which is known to boost fat metabolism and speed up fat burning. So our recipe suggestion includes many nutrients that positively affect your metabolism. And the best part is: this salad is also really delicious.
The recipe:
Prep time: 20 min
Ingredients for four people:
- 600 g chicken breast fillet
- 4 tbsp honey
- 6 tbsp peppercorns
- 2 tbsp Rama Culinesse plant-based cream
- 500 g strawberries
- 250 ml Rama Cremefine for cooking, 15% fat
- 2 tbsp vinegar
- 1 tsp each salt, pepper
- 200 g mixed leaf salad of your choice
Preparation:
- Rinse the chicken breast fillet, pat dry, and salt. Brush with honey on both sides and sprinkle with coarsely crushed peppercorns, pressing the pepper in lightly. Heat the plant-based cream in a pan and sear the meat on both sides for about 2 minutes each. Put on a lid and continue cooking the chicken breast over low heat for about 6 minutes, until cooked through.
- Meanwhile, clean the strawberries and halve or quarter them. Purée 100 g strawberries with Cremefine. Season the dressing with vinegar, salt, pepper and, if you like, a little sugar to taste.
- Wash the salad, drain well, and tear into bite-sized pieces. Mix with the strawberries and drizzle with the dressing. Slice the chicken breast diagonally into thicker slices and arrange on top of the salad.
