The most commonly found protein on a bodybuilder's plate is boneless, skinless chicken breast. With the highest protein and lowest fat per portion than any other part of the chicken, it's a great choice of lean protein. While there are plenty of recipes, marinades and cooking methods for preparing chicken, there are times when even chopping up vegetables is too time consuming. These quick flavoring suggestions are suitable for everyday eating and will only require a few things already on hand in most kitchen cabinets.
