Eating healthy is just as important as exercising to stay fit. However, as our lives seem busier with every waking moment, it’s not particularly easy to come up with healthy recipes that also taste delicious.

To help overcome this particular predicament, online fitness trainer Salar took to Instagram on January 6 and shared his one-pan Mediterranean chicken recipe via his account @salaarfit.

The idea behind the recipe is to “make cooking and cleanup simple,” Salar said. Everything in the dish is cooked at the same time, which means one doesn’t have to juggle five different pans or stand over the stove all day.“
The amount of ingredients involved in the following recipe is for four servings, which is perfect even for individuals looking to meal prep for the week. The total macros in the recipe are 1,434 calories, including 184 grams of protein, 50 grams of fat, and 51 grams of carbohydrates.
Thus, each serving contains only 358 calories, with 46 grams of protein and only 12.5 grams of fat and carbohydrates. The recipe is provided below:

Preparation method:
- Cut the chicken thighs into one-inch cubes and season with nonfat Greek yogurt, olive oil, garam masala, salt, garlic paste and juice of half a lemon.

- Add the chicken to the same pan and bake in the oven at 375°F for 15-20 minutes, then broil the chicken for five to seven minutes.
