Nutritional values

The chicken scores with plenty of protein and nerve-strengthening B vitamins. Onions and garlic stimulate digestion and the immune system. Anise has a calming effect on stomach and intestines.

If children are eating with you or you would like to avoid alcohol in general, you can replace the anise liqueur with 50 ml fennel syrup and the white wine with about 60 ml lemon juice and vegetable stock. Best accompaniment for the aniseed chicken: Baguette bread and green salad.
