⏱️ Cooking Time: 20 minutes | 🍽️ Servings: 1

Instructions

  1. 1.
    Begin by heating a grill pan over medium-high heat. While the pan is heating, lightly pound the chicken breast to an even thickness to ensure it cooks evenly. Rub 1 tablespoon of olive oil onto the chicken along with the chopped rosemary and salt. This will help form a fragrant, flavorful crust.
  2. 2.
    Place the chicken on the grill pan. Cook for about 6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the juices run clear. If your chicken begins browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly to avoid burning the exterior.
  3. 3.
    In a separate non-stick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the egg whites, keeping them in a single layer. Allow them to cook undisturbed until the edges start setting, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. 4.
    Once the edges are set, carefully fold the egg whites into a gentle scramble, just until fully cooked but still tender. Avoid overcooking as this will make them rubbery. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
  5. 5.
    Serve the grilled chicken breast alongside the fluffy egg whites. The combination of protein from both the chicken and egg whites creates a satisfying and filling high-protein meal. Enjoy the fresh herb aroma and the balanced textures.
