  Chicken is slow release protein.
  
  You need as much protein ASAP into your system after exercise/
  
  Try whey protein.

  Most animal proteins are faster releasing than vegetable proteins except for processed or rendered proteins from veggies.

  read from somewhere the best is to drink protein drink just before, in the middle, and immediately after a workout. By doing so, you're feeding the body protein that it needs immediately.

  yes, but the protein content in just soya milk is grossly insufficient.

  i'm not any expert or anything so take my words at your own risk.
  
  The best foods to take is whey protein in soya milk or the like. And not your normal foodcourt meal as they usually do not provide enough protein.
  
  And banana is almost all carbo food with little protein content.
  
  My 2 cents....

  take whey by itself,dun mix it with other stuff...this will slow down absorption
  
  also,take a simple carbs after training,for me I either take 2 bananas OR 3 tablespoons of honey
  
  So I take whey+honey after workout

  after a workout, one should take fast absorbing proteins and not slow ones like milk,casein micellar protein etc
  
  casein is a slow absorbing protein
  
  Best is whey + dextrose or honey(if it suits you) and your regular protein food like grilled chicken breasts and whatever healthy.
  
  Soya milk and other types of milk can come later in the day. like before bed-time.
