Chris Hemsworth famously packed on more muscle than he ever has before for his fourth solo outing as the God of Thunder, and his jacked physique was on full display in Thor: Love and Thunder. (Literally. Butt and all.)

But acquiring those godlike gains wasn't without its challenges. Firstly, Hemsworth's stunt double Bobby Holland Hanton struggled to keep up with the progress that the actor was making. And then there was the issue of making sure that they were both consuming enough protein each day to maintain that new muscle.

It got to the point where Hemsworth was eating up to ten meals each day while filming Love and Thunder, and he eventually got so sick of eating that his team started replacing some of those meals with protein shakes.

Hemsworth has since shared some of those shake recipes on his Instagram, including a chocolate espresso concoction that's guaranteed to provide the energy for a Thor-level workout. He's also demonstrated how to prepare some of the other meals available in the diet plans on his Centr wellness app, including a protein-rich lamb stew.

In his most recent post, Hemsworth, Hanton and trainer Luke Zocchi cook up a "delicious, quick and easy" smokey chicken pasta bake. This is a go-to lunch that Hemsworth's chef, Dan Churchill, likes to prepare as it's a "big bulk item, plenty of carbohydrates, and good source of protein."

They start off by dicing and frying chicken breast and onions in separate pans with salt and smoked paprika respectively, then boiling and draining pasta before combining everything with tomato sauce. Hemsworth cheats slightly by using sauce from a jar instead of making his own, but don't judge him too harshly; he's a busy guy.

Once the sauce is stirred in and both the chicken and pasta are well coated, Zocchi sprinkles it with cheese and then they put it into the oven to bake for five to ten minutes, until it is, in Hemsworth's own words, "golden brown, crispy, and delicious." And as Zocchi points out, like most baked pasta dishes, it "tastes even better the next day."
