Making a High Protein Meal with the Ninja Air Fryer
Hey REP Team!
Are you a busy student or working professional? Juggling school work, extracurriculars, and maybe even a part-time job. With all the chaos, who has the time to whip up crazy meals, right? Well fear not, because l’ve got a game-changing solution for you: my recent discovery of the Ninja Air Fryer and its magical ability to cook foods even Ratatouille would be proud of lol!
Now, let me take you through my culinary journey that was as easy as pie (or should I say, chicken thigh?). Yesterday, during a work break, I decided to put my Air Fryer to the test. First things first, I seasoned those chicken thighs to perfection. A dash of chicken spice here, a pinch of garlic powder there, and just a hint of onion powder to tie it all together. Then, into the Air Fryer they went! Set that bad boy to 400°F and let it cook for 18 minutes. Lemme tell ya, those thighs came out crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavour. It was like a symphony of taste exploding in my mouth with every bite!
But wait, there’s more! While my Ninja Air Fryer worked its magic, I didn’t just twiddle my thumbs. Oh no, I’m all about efficiency in the kitchen. So, I fired up the rice cooker and let it work its grainy wonders. Rice, the perfect sidekick to my protein-packed chicken thighs, cooked to fluffy perfection without me having to lift a finger. And because I believe in making the most out of every culinary adventure, I threw some corn into a pot and let it boil away while everything else was cooking. Talk about multitasking like a boss!
In the end, I had a delicious, high-protein meal ready to crush in about 30 minutes. Plus, I had leftovers tucked away for dinner or tomorrow’s lunch, because who doesn’t love a meal that keeps on giving?
Below are the approximate nutritional values of my meal. These values will vary per meal:
- 3 Chicken thighs (cooked) ~ 600 calories, 75g protein, 33g fat, 0g carbs
- 1/4 cup white rice (cooked): ~50 calories, 1g protein, 0g fat, 11g carbs
- Half corn on the cob: ~60 calories, 2g protein, 1g fat, 14g carbs
So, to all the ballers, shot-callers, the hustle and bustlers, let me leave you with this: invest in a Ninja Air Fryer, embrace the simplicity of boneless chicken thighs, and never underestimate the power of a well-seasoned meal. Your taste buds-and your busy schedule— will thank me later! Ratatouille eat your heart out.
