What is the eat clean diet?
Eat clean is a clean eating diet, using clean foods, not processed, with no additives or preservatives, and retaining the natural essence of food.
This method still allows you to consume all essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, fats, fiber but focuses on healthy food groups to reduce sugar and fats in foods, helping the body eliminate toxins and enhance nutrient absorption.
How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh chicken breast
- To prepare a delicious dish, you should choose chicken breast pieces with white skin, as these are from larger chickens with better and firmer meat, while younger chickens tend to have more mushy meat.
- If you buy skinless chicken breast, observe the layer of fat on the chicken. You should choose the fat that is white, as the meat will be tastier.
- Choose pieces of breast with fewer striations in the meat fibers. The more striations there are, the less fat and protein there will be, and moreover, these lines will make it harder for the chicken to absorb seasoning and sauces during cooking.
How to choose good bell peppers
- You should choose bell peppers that have a shiny and smooth surface, bright color, and still have the stem.
- Choose ones that are firm, feel heavy in hand, and have the fresh scent of vegetables.
- Additionally, you should select male bell peppers for better cooking results.

How to make Steamed Chicken and Vegetables
-
Prepare the bell peppers
Wash the bell peppers, remove the seeds, slice them into strips, and chop them into small pieces.
-
Sauté bell peppers
You place a pan on the stove over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan, and when the oil is hot, add minced garlic to sauté until fragrant.
Next, add shallots and bell peppers and sauté for about 5 minutes until the ingredients are just cooked, then turn off the heat and transfer the sautéed peppers to a bowl to cool.

Mix the filling
Add 1/4 teaspoon of salt to the minced chicken breast in a bowl and use a spoon to mix well so that the chicken absorbs the seasoning.
Then add the sautéed bell peppers and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper and mix well.
To make the filling more fragrant, add 2 tablespoons of yogurt to the filling and mix well. If you want the filling to be chewier, use a spoon to mix well for about 10 minutes.
Tip for making delicious chewy filling:
- When mixing the filling, do not add cooking oil to avoid stickiness because while we mix the filling, it will bind together to create a chewy, elastic texture. Adding oil or fats will prevent the filling from binding together, resulting in a crumbly and loose texture.
- Use a spoon to mix the filling evenly along the sides of the bowl, in one fixed direction until you see the filling sticking to the spoon, and forming a sticky mass indicates that the filling is ready.
- Mixing the filling is the most important step; you should pay close attention to this step as it determines the taste and chewiness of the filling. If you don’t mix well, the filling will be very crumbly when cooked.

Steaming the sausage
You put the sausage filling into a rectangular tray (20cm x 15cm x 10cm or any tray you have), use a spoon to spread the filling evenly.
Next, you crack an egg into a bowl, beat it well and lightly brush a layer of egg on the surface of the sausage so that when baked, the sausage looks golden and more appetizing.
You preheat the oven for about 10 minutes at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius to stabilize the oven temperature. Then you put the sausage tray into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius until the sausage is cooked.

Final product
Once the sausage is cooked, take it out, use a knife to gently go around the mold to release the sausage from the mold, and cut the sausage to serve with rice and some stir-fried vegetables, or enjoy the chicken sausage with bread and some cucumber and cilantro, which is also very delicious.
The steamed chicken sausage with vegetables looks very appealing. The sausage has a chewy texture with the natural sweetness of chicken and bell peppers, which is incredibly tempting.
How to store steamed chicken sausage with vegetables
- If you have leftover chicken sausage, you can put it in a food storage bag or a tightly sealed plastic container and store it in the refrigerator, this method can preserve the sausage for 4 – 6 days.
- To store chicken sausage longer, place it in the freezer. This method can preserve the sausage for 10 – 20 days.
