Donna's Dish of the Week! Sriracha Chicken
Sriracha Chicken is on the menu on Tuesday at Oliver’s. Chicken breast is a great source of lean protein, selenium, vitamin B6 and several other important nutrients. Sriracha is a spicy sauce that is made from pureed hot peppers, garlic, salt, pepper, and vinegar. When Oliver’s prepares baked chicken with sriracha sauce, is not only tasty, but adds several ingredients that can improve metabolism and may help with weight loss!
For instance, hot peppers contain a compound called dihydrocapsiate which has been shown to increase the body’s ability to burn fat when eaten three times per day. Adding garlic to your food has been shown to help you metabolize both carbohydrates and fats more efficiently. Also, piperine in black pepper has been shown to help the body burn more calories through the process of thermogenesis. Finally, the Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that acetic acid present in vinegar leaves you feeling fuller for longer so you may eat less.
Want a delicious way to eat a nutritious, low-fat meal and improve your metabolism all at the same time? Oliver’s has it, this Tuesday with their Sriracha Chicken!
