Baked Chicken and Vegetables – Brat Diet

BRAT Diet Dinner Recipe

The BRAT diet, bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast, is a classic stomach-soothing approach. Originally called the bland diet, it works because each food is easy to digest and produces minimal stool.

People reach for it during gastroenteritis, food poisoning, stomach flu recovery, or nausea from chemotherapy. Some use it for short-term weight loss, though its real purpose is symptom relief.

This baked chicken and vegetable recipe fits the BRAT pattern: no added salt, no canned ingredients, only fresh produce and dried herbs for flavor. Suitable for anyone managing nausea, vomiting, or stomach discomfort.
