Boiling chicken. Is this a good concept?

[Saieok]

I had a meal last night where I boiled a chicken breast. Boiled it, until the internal temperature reached 180 degrees, then I cooked a sweet potato, and some brown rice on the side. It was a very boring meal, but I think that it was pretty good.
You guys think that this is a good option and what can I do to spice up a meal like this?

Yeah that’s a solid meal honestly — lean protein, complex carbs, and some good fiber from the sweet potato. Super clean. But yeah, boiled chicken can get kinda bland real quick.

To spice it up without messing up the nutrition:

• Season it heavy – garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, chili flakes, curry powder — whatever you like.
• Use broth instead of water when boiling chicken — gives it way more flavor.
• Add a sauce or dip – something like Greek yogurt mixed with lemon + herbs, or a bit of hot sauce, mustard, or salsa.
• Throw in some sautéed onions, peppers, or spinach on the side. Makes the whole plate feel less dry.
• For the rice, try mixing in lime juice + chopped cilantro, or a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil if you want a different vibe.

Still keeps it healthy but makes it way more enjoyable. Clean food doesn’t have to taste plain.

It's supposed to be one of the healthiest ways to cook it but you have to make sure you add some salt to it. So it preserves

I like using the slow cooker, chicken tastes a lot better when you cook it slower.

I don't like boiling chicken. It comes out to Rubber. If that makes sense.

Air fryer in my estimation is the best way to cook chicken, hands down.

I like to put some paprika salt and pepper and maybe add some lime to it. Kind of cook it, a more Mexican style.

You can cook chicken, many different ways. How about in the pan with some light coconut oil,
